Default Baked 21.5 Brushless Team Orion Motor.... WHY?

I am using Team Orion Crawler Esc and 21.5 brushless sensored motor on my SCX10.

My Spur is the original from Axial 87T and my pinion is 20T.
I use 1.9 tyres.

I baked my motor trying to crawl on loose dirt terrain.

Is it normal?

Was Pinion 20T too much?

couldve been a number of things

debris in the gear train, improper gear mesh, a short, just to name a few.

You can, kind of. The speed comes from more voltage, not the assumed ability to gear up.
