motor temperature scale flying / motor comparison HELP
 
I been wondering and messing around with the throttle curves and pitch curves trying to find the right headspeed but WOW i cannot believe after all this time my BL500L align motor just doesnt have the balls to pull my scale 500e through the air. After extensive test flting and even cutting my flight times in half still the motor is almost hot to the touch and i believe i know why. Im flying a scale 500e fuselage 162t main gear with 12t pinion on my 500 esp and 6s 5000mah pack and its just overwhelming this motor. Whatever i do with pitch or throttle adjustments the motor temps stay almost hot to the touch. Here are the specs of my current motor and below are the specs of the motor i want to upgrade to. Being the same kv motor but being able to output more than double the power and amps should help with temps i assume....correct me if im wrong...

Align 500L

Input voltageC11.1V-22.2V 3-6cell Li-PoMax continuous current: 4S 45A/55A(30sec)6S 35A/45A(30sec)Max output power:650W/800W(30sec)KV value:1600KVDimension: spindle 5x36x61.1mmWeight: 200g (prox.)

align 500mx


Input voltageC11.1V-25.2V 3-6cell Li-Po
●Max continuous current:75A/110A(5sec)
●Max output power:1600W/2300W(5sec)
●KV value:1600KV
●Dimension: spindle Φ5xΦ40.9x46.5mm
●Weight: 197g (prox.)

Will Switching to this 500mx motor help with motor temps due to extra battery weight , fuselage weight and unsufficient cooling due to being enclosed in fuselage?

thanks in advance
