It's the Neu 1512. It will run pretty much all day long without too much heat issue. I did get it too hot once but normally it would run all day under 180, and if there is some air getting to it I don't think it would get much over 160. That's not bad for long races.

I also have a Neu 1515 1700kv in a Jammin truggy, geared for about 30-35 mph with a single fan blowing on the motor and esc. It will run on my small track nonstop and never go over 160's. I have run it for well over 30 minutes.... it has a 12ah 4s pack.

I would really recomend a high end motor like a Neu based on what you say you want, to keep things running as cool as possible. But there does seem to be a little cogging issue with the MM/Neu combos right now. I hope this can be resolved so I can recomend it without a doubt.

I don't know what other motors are like... Pletty or Lehner I assume will run cooler like the Neu. Rotary Rocket is running a Pletty/MM combo and reports no heat, no cogging.

I would guess about a 14 would be a good gear for the 7XL, but you might want to check BrianG's speed calculator and see what the #'s say.

Sorry... all this discussion still doesn't clear things up really does it?

The 7XL is relatively cheap... so if it burns up then you will know for sure. ;)
