Re: CIM's Over loaded/Heated
A picture will indeed say a thousand words, but we have experienced similar results when running the CIMs for more than 10 minutes or so. We've cooked about four of them over extended practice use, but none during the short runs in competition. I think you just need to give them time to cool off. Also, make sure your electrical connections to the motor are good.
