over heating my monster pro

It might be the lipos. I had a set of 5000's from maxamps and they couldn't handle the draw from the MM on my Rusty setup. I ended up puffing one and the ESC was heating up constantly. It seems the discharge rating is over rated causing everything else to work harder.

Their was a thread here not long ago about the discharge rating on maxamp lipos.
So I switched to the 6000 and now more problems.

Like I stated earlier it sounds like you might have a weak link in your system that is causing it to overheat. Bad connections are a number one cause of overheating, bad cells, bad motor, or a bad controller maybe. Process of elimination is your only recourse. If you are setup as you should be then it has to be a hardware issue. You might want to check each component out closer for individual problems.
