Is it because its more power in the Xl motors?
I have the 8L now with 4s, heat sink on motor and esc.
the gearing i use is 51/18 and 51/16 and the motor is getting hot, vould it be cooler with 7XL:032:
Sorry the of topic

For one thing, the 8L kv=2765, while the 7XL kv=2145. For another, the XL can is physically longer, which helps spread and dissipate the heat...
