Thanks…

How’s the rule-of-thumb go again regarding temp?

My digital temp-gauge hasn’t arrived yet; but presently the motor runs a bit hot (about 4 seconds with a finger before pulling away). It’s a Fieago so I guess that can be expected. The MM only gets warm to the touch, and the lipo maybe just slightly above ambient. I know it’s all guess work without a temp gauge; but doesn’t that imply under-geared? (hot motor, cool esc & batts = undergeared?) Or do I have it backwards?

[EDIT] Pics are up
