You got a hunk or knockoff. My 1515 did double standing backflips and fast AF. It does get hot if you try to bash with speed gearing. I’ve bought many castle motors of all sizes and they are the coolest running motors compared to all the other leading brands including Poseidon, tppower, leopard etc. Castle motors are the only one I’ve been able to gear pretty high with no added fans or heatsinks
Probably the fact that is was pretty old, the knockoff motors from what I have seen run just fine.
There have been a lot of people who ran the MM2 or MMX with the 2200kv motor and the biggest complaint was it ran too hot. Mine runs rather warm in my ET48.3 and that is much lighter than a Kraton.
The MMX8s 1650kv or the Max6 1650 combos work much better in these cars and they run much much cooler. Even on a 100* day my Outcast 6s with the Max6 combo never got past 150* on the motor or the esc and my Outcast is a heavy pig.
