T-Rex battery Problem HELP

[Aaron15]

i got a brand new trex (XL) and started doing 3-D with it im running a 11tooth on the motor. and i over heated my first battery and killed it. so when i use my other battery i dont do as much 3-D. just a couple loops and its getting Hot as well. enyone know what i should do.. i was thinking of putting the motor in it that comes with the T_Rex (SE). i think the XL motor is weaker. HELP. thanks :D

What size and make battery are you using?

Along with the motor, pinion, ESC, discharge rate of the battery and capacity....lots of variables. Need more info. If you're doing 3D you should have at least a 16C battery on there. I had a 12C and fried it long ago.

If you have one of the older align motors (420L) it is probably a little overloaded for 3D. You will be much happier if you go with the align motor for the SE (430L) or one of the other well proven motors for the T-REX like the Aon, Astro flight, Neu, Mega, Multiplex, etc.
