Yeah, you must have gotten a lemon because I got my vxl to run 65.4 mph on a Maxamps 5000mah 3s with the optional pinion that comes with it (I think it's 28 teeth) and it never got over about 150-160 degrees. The run times were about 40 mins to. It runs so long I only hit the lvc two or three times since I got it.
Maybe your battery had something to do with it because mine came with a 6 cell IB 3600 pack and it got way hot on the esc and motor with that battery. I think it actually thermaled with that battery if I remember correctly and that was actually with the smaller stock pinion.
