New or old emaxx?

What is the rest of your combo, esc, batts?

Generally you want to keep the temp of the motor under 180f.

Welcome to the forum, Pete, have fun and watch out for excessive silliness.

7xl is a good 4s motor, I would gear it with the 22t pinion you have and see how the temps are. I am sure it will be fine.

what your set up

Hi Pete, welcome to the forum.

About the temperatures, there is a sticky in the FAQ or brushless section about the temps, this could give you an idea.

I used the 7XL on 5S, it's a hot motor! runs well on 3S as well (for relative slow speed bashing)
