Default GP Rimfire motors?

Is anyone flying a Rimfire GPMG4595 in a aerobatic plane? If so, are you doing any 3-d and not cooking the motor?
I have a GP Edge 540 with a 4595 Rimfire, 35a ESC and flying on 3cell 2100mah packs.
The first motor lasted 3 flights and burnt up. They replaced it. The second one lasted 1 flight. Sent that back with the ESC and they replaced the motor with the GPMG4600 and said the ESC was fine. The 4600 lasted 3 flights and burt up also. I was running a 10x7 prop on the 4595's and a 12x6 on the 4600. Now I'm waiting for my 4th motor. I'm starting to think a Rimfire isn't very good, lol.
I've never had a problem like this with any other electrics.
This is the set-up I'm running.
