HV-Maxx motor thermal shutdown problem

Yeah, but geared 12/66, I highly doubt his peak current draw excceeds 80 amps for more than 1/2 second - and that's in second gear. Most of the amps are pulled while accelerating. Once it hits top speed, not many amps are actually pulled - that's why at top speed, the batteries could almost be giving out 1.2 volts per cell (fresh pack)! Either way, the motor is only spinning around 2750 rpm/volt. Which is pretty slow. I find that the Novak SS5800 spins around the 4000 rpm/volt. The Feigao is a good motor for all around bashing, racing, etc. There's no reason to use other motors unless that 1 or 2 % efficiency matters or if the extra ounces matters... Or maybe people just want German engineering instead of something made in China. But for me, for all practical purposes, I don't think any motor is significantly better than any other brand brushless. It's about getting the right kV for the power supply and getting the optimal size motor for the vehicle.
