Eh...I'll go by the "If it runs, it runs" rule...the fact that its so fast I can barely control it above 1/2 throttle means I won't notice a drop in power unless its something like a 30% drop lol...

I know the motor was at a REDICULOUS temp...it melted a chunk of snow a little larger than the speed control and then boiled it off all within a second or two. It actually did that to like 10 peices of snow...so I know it was REALLY...REALLY...hot.

Funny thing is though, I was running it the other day. And even though my motor can was too hot to touch for more than a second or so, my rotor was still cool... any thoughts on this?
