Default motor smell!!!

so i was doin some couch crawlin and i dont think it was "cogging" but it just kinda stops when im half way up the couch, and it could easily get up it if it had more punch.so after a little while the motor starts getting super hot and starts smelling like elctronics burning.
im running a gp 6 cell and a 55t lathe with 66 9 gearing,and a tekin 2
can anyone tell me whats goin on here?lol

your over heating the motor and cooking the epoxy they use on the wires and/or the brushes.

pull the brushes out and see if theres any discolor to them or the comm ... blueish/purple is real bad.

sounds like your stalling the motor.
