Perhaps it was over geared, or perhaps you tend to get motors hot. The next thing worth asking is why didn't the ESC/motor thermal protect it, it seems strange to me that it didn't.
I have run a 4.5L and got it stinking hot in 2 minutes, and I just kept letting it thermal, wait 10-20 seconds, then carry on a bit, thermal, wait a bit longer, carry on - I did a full 5 minutes like this. I know I got the gearing completely wrong, and the motor was vastly too fast for the track on a particularly hot day - but doing this did no lasting damage to the motor or the GTB.
Im wondering if there is another fault? So it is certainly worth contacting CML with thorough information, and they will send it to Novak to evaluate.
