Could you provide some more info here?

When you say ran worse at the end of the day was this a competition day with ~2 minute matches being run or a testing day where the motors were run much more continuously?

In either above situation was a motor cool down period allowed?

After experiencing these required "kick start" were the motors replaced or did the issue not appear at the start of a 'new' day?

What was the use of these motors and the expected loading?
