I've run my 4wd for 20 minutes at racing speed with no issues on thermalling outdoors. it wasn't winter either is was average UK weather.
I have seen many in practice times thermal, and in my SC, with fan on both the motor and the esc, they were fine, but the lipo got that hot it melted the connector, still working but at an angle now lol.... OK, i have a 5.5t in it and its 4wd and yes its damn quick..... but no way would i ever get 20 mins out of it even with my 5100mah cells........
