Bwaahaa... Hadn't seen that one coming!

Honnestly, I'm pretty sure the over heating wasn't a case of poor charging since they're all using balance chargers... As for over gearing, that could be possible for some... But not all. Some I know are geared conservatively and watch out for running temps religiously (at least on their motor and ESC).

Maybe the quality of their packs? Other than that, all I can think of is their motors are pulling too much current, too often, which is nearing the limits of the packs they are using. This I've been told (by manufacturers) is a definite cause for overheating and the main reason it's important to make sure the C rating of your packs combined with the capacity they have can dish out more than what is needed by the motor. But this is all heresay for me. As I've said, my packs are running nice and cool and have no problem dishing out the amps my motors need. And obviously, so are your 3200s!!!

Thanks to everybody for giving your constructive detailed input to this! I've learned a lot, especially that I still have a lot to learn about these!

Cheers!
