What settings are you running in the MM? Set the start power to low and the timing to lowest. You will still have plenty of power, but it will make the motor run cooler. Especially the timing, it can make or break a setup as far as temps go.

The only reason you would ever need a high timing seting is if you were trying to squeeze every last drop of power out of the motor for short bursts. Like for drag racing. 10 seconds of full power, then shut down.
