Did you reset the radio and then recalibrate it to the esc? If not you need to do that, just to be sure.

Could you post how the temps are after a race with the newly relocated power? Because I ran an RC8 with a 1512/2D on 4S on a regular MM last year and used 13/46 gearing. Just want to know if I was maybe undergeared. It was very comparable to nitros in top end, but obviously far superior overall :) Just got a MMM V3 for this year so should be even better.

I would suggest a larger pinion (16-18) with the 1512 2D.

Hey Steve, are you still running the 2.5D? What was your gearing? I just got everything back together and took it for a spin at glenwood yesterday. First time out with the MMM. It was a blast, even on such a small track. I'm trying to get ready for Tillsonburg but I think a 16T might be too high. I'll have to do a more controlled test with about 3-5 mins on each pinion and measuring temps. See ya.
