Default Burning up motors

Hi everyone,
I've burned up two 27t trinity motors in the last few days, a p2kpro and revenge of the monster. I'm running a axial ae5 with thunder power 3s 2200 25c. The first motor was geared on 28/78 (stock rtr) locked in low gear. While the second 27t was 22/78 locked in low gear. I did reassemble the first one right before it smoked, but what I don't understand is I was running it for 2 months prior with no problems.
So I guess I'm just looking to see what other power combos and gearing everyone is using.
Thanks for reading,
Ryan

I would check first to see if I have something binding some where. Are you checking your motor temps when running. once I start getting into the 150ish range I start getting a little concerned. Just my 2 cents.

I've been running a dynamite 35T for a while with stock gearing. Lose a lot of wheel speed, but there Was enough to finish the Recon last weekend. How did you do? I found that this so called "rock bouncer" was very capable of keeping up with other rigs. Even the very built one's.

Not sure how it will do now. This is what my hammer looks like now.

I think you were the one that I was going to give the 15T I had, but I forgot I took the leads off of it. How did it do until you burned it up?

I was running into problems the entire run, had to take the cage off 3 or 4 times before the motor went out, and I only got through 17 gates.
Just ordered the single speed gear set off the Ascender, going to try that with a large spur and even smaller pinion.

I'm surprised your burning up motors. I hope you figure this out. I like seeing twin hammers out there.
