Are you running advanced timing or boost settings on ESC? No

What timing insert do you have in motor? The one with 4 dots, which I think is standard

with a 6.5T LRP motor i normally run a 21t pinion, if the track is large with a long straight or very open i would try a 22t pinion to calm the throttle.
i use a 8.5T LRP motor in the wet or if a track is slippy or tight and technical, the biggest pinion i would run is a 23t with ths motor. Cheers, I'll check my gearing but sounds similar.

LRP/VTEC motors are pretty much the same as Nosram and are known for running warm but i've never had issues with overheating.

cogging could also be caused by a damaged sensor lead or too much advanced timing... or an ESC not calibrated to transmitter properly? have you tried resetting the ESC? Will try re-setting esc, have tried a number of sensor wires. I do sometimes wonder about going back to 40mhz as when I switch everything on the wheels spin up briefly, but have always had that problem with spektrum and Nosram stuff.

I'm assuming that there are no binding issues with car transmission/drivetrain and everything is smooth and free when turned by hand? Yep all is free

Cheers for the reply, a couple of things for me to try.
