Default RE: Smoked motor - suitable replacement?

Does your hull use a prop? What size in diameter?

The problem is you are asking a lot from that motor to attain the speeds you are getting from it. It simply does not have the mass to dissipate the waste heat produced. A larger motor with slower RPM's would be better suited.

I would also recommend picking up an ESC for you receiver to power the motor. This will result in greater efficiency and control.
