The bushing in the shaft end of my ARRMA Mega motor wore out in the first hour of use. ARRMA’s replacing it under warranty, but they’re on backorder until August, so I’m looking into alternative replacements.
I’m looking at the Traxxas Titan 550 12T or a mild brushless setup like this Onyx kit:

Will I have issues with the Onyx kit overheating in a Typhon Mega running 2S? I don’t want to do the transmission upgrades that would be required to drop in a more powerful brushless setup. Just looking for something more reliable that performs at least as well as the stock mega motor.
I've also looked at the cheap brushless setups like GoolRC or ebay rebrands but it sounds like a crap shoot as to whether the ESC goes up in flames or not and I don't want to just throw my money away.
