    Well just wanted to add to the debate..i received a new aq 2030..let's just say can't tell any performance difference..so I put it in my p limited cat..didn't change anything prop or setup wise..decided to see if I could make 4 minutes..well I ended up running it for 5 minutes and 45 seconds before it shut off..thankfully right by shore..so only took about 30 seconds to retrieve..pulled hatch expecting to find smoke..but none..i tempted motor..it was at 185..so Def hot..but no fried wires..it ended up lipo cutoff..recharged batteries and went back out..no problems. .I'm impressed

      It doesnt mean that there is no damage, It could be that there is just not enough to kill the motor. There can be a slight deterioration of the lamination on the wire that worsens over time.

          Obviously you could have done some damage to the motor but good stress test none the less. Hopefully most of us won't run the motor this hard as a rule.....
