Default RE: Super Tigre .10 or E-Flite Power 10

Sounds good: all I can say is that my test motor with a 10x7 APC E on it, drawing 23.70A/255W, from 23C it reached 70C after 45 seconds on the stand. With an 11x5.5 APC E it drew 26.90A/291W and from 32C it reached 82C after ~45 seconds on the stand. With an 11x7 GWS HD drawing 28.40A/310W, from 29C it reached 92C (smoke) after ~50 seconds on the stand.

This test motor is currently back with its owner and apparently performing well, so obviously these momentary peaks of heat were not due to any mechanical problem, and, long term, did not damage it at all.
