So the 1406 on 3s in a Rustler is a bad idea? I know my 1506 is a bit larger and likely more powerful but it motivates my Rustler with serious authority geared 15/56 and doesn't even hint at getting warm on 2s with ESC temps reaching as high as 110 degrees (GASP!). Running 3s my motor gets up to 160ish in the Summer and if I am really pushing it I can possibly thermal my MM but only after running the crap out of it for a good 30-40 minutes--if I stick to 1 battery or give it a short break between batteries I can run through 2 packs without heat issues. With the blower on the 1406 and being run somewhat intelligently I'd think it would be OK.
