The main point of my post was to say I don't think you can just blame the motor when things look much more like user error, for the reasons listed. I know motors say X voltage max and Y rpm max, but that doesn't mean its a good idea to run it at that in every app. The setup you had was very very hard on the motor, and its not terribly surprising it failed. I'm not trying flame you or e-thug you or anything, but just to lyk, just swapping motor brands w/o addressing the underlying issues isn't going to solve anything.

Sounds like the gearing changes are a good step towards that, but you still will be using the motor at its limits, so extra caution and conservative settings should be taken to avoid further failures until the setup is really tested and proven.

wow now im confused.....im the r/c for about 10 years(in electric)and now i feel like a newbee.... if the compagnie said that the motor can handle 30 volt and i push it to 25 volt its border line!!!????....wtf...my revo is geared like the stock revo bl edition...motor 200kv lower thant the neu castle...i dont really think im hard on the set-up if yes traxxas should not recommend to run the e-revo on 6 cell lipo...i run in my 2 other e-revo same exact set-up(18/68) but a neu 1515 1y and a 1515 1,5d(14/68) both on 6 cell lipo...my 1y never pass 128f(in 30 minute)and my 1,5d was 153f(after 33minutes)at 73f outside.. now(in my winter basher) i run a 1515 1,5y geared for the exact top speed that i was with my medusa....yesterday i run 48 min in line...ive got 98f on my motor at 39f outside..
