And you run the risk of chassis failure due to heat (Even if your FET's can take the heat, the chassis and PCB cannot handle ultra-high temps 150*f+.
Properly breaking in your motor's bearings .....

Thanks for the tips Felix. I was running 5.34:1 when it all went pear shaped, when I decide to give the t2+ another go I'll probaly start off somewhere around 6:1 and see how it goes after a few laps.
And yes, as you suggested the melting was in the cover over the fets and possibly a little bit of solder once the cover had collapsed on the fets I think- all of this in about 10 laps. Car was still running though. Only way I found out before it got worse was I flipped and popped the shell off......
