So you went up in KV? It will most likely fry too.............try to run it on the smallest pinion you can darn near find, it may stand a chance that way. Hope it works out for you.
Just to be clear, the Castle didn't fry, temps were actually ok for a Castle, I hear they tend to run hot. I jumped it on concrete and landed right on the motor. Pulled the endbell partially off. OUCH!
