My savage was short lived, any ideas??

Did you have padding under the esc? Make sure all your wires are hooked up and connected good. Batteries included. It is not hard to knock a cell loose from the solder joint.

Yeah, ESC was wrapped in foam, and all connections are good. Thanks for your help! I'll keep pokin around.

Wrapped in foam.... Did it have any ventilation? How was the heat on the 9920? ESC will get pretty hot pretty fast if it cant get any air.

Yes it had ventilation, and honestly the ESC was pretty cool. Only the motor was hot.

it seems as if everytime i read something about these chinese motors they seems to be almost always be reporting that the motors were very hot after a relatively short run.

Im sure that one of the Lehner motors would run more efficiently and cooler... But you have to be willing to pay for that.
