heres my setup. i'm running an 11.1 20c lipo along with the amp T5000L high torque motor.i bought 2 brand new ascu mosfet units. i installed one and it was heating up the wires,mosfet and the motor as well, starting from the battery wires and moving down into the mosfet and motor. i originally thought it was the ascu mosfet kit being bad, so i replaced it with another brand new one. i made sure to be extra careful on install and double checked everything. everything works awesome, but once again the wires and mosfet, as well as motor is heating up. not smoldering hot but warm enough to notice. once it heats up i stop operation. should i swap the small tammy for a deans? should i try a different motor? i'm lost at this point.

i'm just on the fence here with mosfets. it's the first time ive used one, so i don't know if it's normal to heat up, or if something is malfunctioning. i could see getting one bad apple out of the bunch, but 2 is very unlikely.
