Default Himax 5300 Kv Motor

Hey guys, Iv'e got a Himax 5300 Kv motor for my e-flight ultimate. I have heard some bad things about it though far as it getting battery packs hot and cutting out the speed control after like 2 minutes. I have researched it a little though and have found that the 7.4 volt packs should be used instead of the 11.1 volt to keep them from getting hot. I am very new to all of this, and I need to know if I should take this one back and get the 4200 Kv motor. I want the power but I dont want to only be able to fly for 5 minutes either. Any advice at all would be great, I appreciate it. Thanks
