Dead Mamba Max ESC?

At this point, I'm now thinking that even the 8XL is hot a motor for the MM on my Muggy. Maybe I should get a 9XL. On the other hand, I did get to run the Compro when trying to get it programmed and it didn't have any trouble running anything I threw at it. 5S with the 7XL with higher gearing than I would have attempted with the MM and 8XL. But for the fact that I couldn't program the Compro, I would have considered it a good replacement for the MM.

I still like the MM in relatively light vehicles, but I think that a real MT controller is called for in anything heavy, say over 12lbs.
