Question

Has anyone knowledge of stab motor overheat scenarios or motor specs on the Max?

If the stab trim is trimmed continuously - down, then up, then down - etc. for minutes on end, is it possible that the motors can eventually overheat and quit?

If so, and the trim is at AND limit that could change a cockpit scenario from manageable to marginal.

This could and did happen for instance on the MD-80
