I believe they are the same as the e-maxx. You should start to see a pattern where the 12 cells and less slow drivers have great motor life and the 14 cells and more fast drivers have terrible life.

The Titans really are a hit and miss thing. Someone will have great luck with them, someone else will fry them on the 2nd run. Either way they suck, so I'd get something better as soon as you can.

The brushes on both of mine failed at the same time after a few reverse too forward wheelies and spin outs ....

Speaking from the 12-turn 550 (6-cell motor) perspective, I have heard of people burning out quickly due to overgearing/overheating. I geared mine down as soon as I got it and the can just gets warm during a run. I have had a lot of runs and the brushes are barely worn. So gearing down will increase motor life, as will the 6 cell packs you are using.

Stock gearing on the E-Revo seems pretty low anyway, it was barely reaching 25mph even running 4s (2x 2s) LiPo. About 23mph running GP3300's. I know my E-maxx was faster than that. They might be overgeared for 7s though.
