So, I logged the issue with my eagletree today but now I'm even more confused.

I used 14/46 gearing with a 4500mah 30c turnigy 4s pack. The temp got up to 140 in a few minutes and stayed there until 16 minutes. Then suddenly the temp started to climb and actually peaked just over 200 at about the 23 minute mark. The esc temp stayed around 150-155 and didnt climb. My peak amps were just over 110 and, and voltage drops were pretty consistent all the way to lvc. The graph didn't show anything out of the ordinary aside from the temp at that point. My second graph was the same, but with a second identical battery. Unfortunately the guy who's laptop i was using left before i could copy it to my memory stick so I'll have to wait to post the graph.

What could possibly cause the temp to shoot up so high so fast like that? Is it possible for the battery to somehow cause that without effecting the esc?

Oh forgot to mention my 1800kv 1512 had a much more linear temperature climb, maxing at about 180 with a 17/46 gearing and the same battery. No abnormal spike at all. runtime was quite a bit less though, only about 16 minutes vs 25 from the 1515 2200.
