This question is on a 430L motor and Align ESC that I "borrowed" from my 450 sa ARF kit and installed on a BEAM A4 heli. I figure because i have a trex 500, 600 and 2 450's its safe to ask my question here.

The motor on the BEAM is really hot after a full battery pack. It was just simple hovering for the trial flight. I really couldnt hold my finger on the motor very long before it hurt. wasnt smoking or anything like that just very very warm. I dont know how many theeth are on my main gear but i am using the 13 tooth pinion.

I believe the high temp is a problem but what should i look for to change/address this?

Thanks all.
