Default Smoking motor.Ideas on causes?????

Hi ya Matt thanks again for your speedy reply.
My new motor just arrived thankfully so i can fly this weekend!.
The spec of the old stock prop that came with the plane was 8x4 slim(according to the manual), the new prop that i was running and will fit with the new motor has the same diameter 8cm and pitch,but it is thinner and lighter and is about 25% less wide form top to bottom when looking straight on.not sure if this helps you any?.

Also.
The info that came with the Speed 600 race says running-in is not necessary does that sound right?

And one more thing.
Got a new battery pack i assume it's best to trickle charge batteries for the first charge?

Thanks Matt.
