DF are you using this esc? Interesting reading the specs. Notice motor limit and about thermal shutdown. Also about the 0 timing for reverse

Motor Limit: EVX-2 Marine has a 12-turn 550 modified motor limit whenInsulate the Wires: Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubingUse Neutrally Timed Motors: For reverse use, the motors must have 0°Motor Capacitors Required: Ceramic capacitors should be properly installedNo Schottky Diodes: External schottky diodes are not compatible with

the motor is properly geared. A water cooling kit (Traxxas part #1580) is

required for modified motor use in marine applications such as the Villain

EX. If the motor or speed control is overheating, try a smaller pinion gear.

Do not attempt to use a more powerful motor (fewer turns) than the above

mentioned motor limits or you could experience frequent thermal shutdown.

timing. Modified motors (with adjustable end bells) timed to 0° or Johnson/

Mabuchi (closed end bell) motors are recommended. Using motors with

other than 0° timing will draw excess current in reverse, and can result in the

speed control overheating and premature motor wear.

reversing speed controls. Using a schottky diode with the EVX-2 Marine will

damage the ESC and void the 30-day warranty.
