Motor Question

I am wondering if someone can answer me this. Am I going to damage my motor? The motor says it will run on 3s-6s and I ran it on a 2s by mistake. The plane flew fine though slower of course. Since I have some 2s batteries needing air time is this acceptable or will it cause trouble for my motor?

If you are going to continue with 2S, you could try slightly larger prop.
Just be sure to check for over heating, warm is OK, but if it so hot you don't want to hang on to it, that is too hot.

Thanks Merv. I did prop up by one inch and it seems fine temperature wise. I was worried under-voltage might cause issue for the motor like a brown out and a fridge. Seems like that is not an issue in rc?
