But the 5.5 is still being marketed as a 4s, and it's rpm's would be around the same as the 4.5 on 3s. So it seems you are now being cautious to a fault. It also seems that it was the esc that had a much higher failure rate with the 4.5, then the motor itself. Does this play into the 2s rating?

the 4.5 HV hits 74K+ RPMS, most motors would not be able to take that for extended periods of time...

teh 4.5 sounds like a jet engine on 4s, throw in some worn down 32p gears and it just sounds nasty
