The ESC is only 8* above ambient, and the motor is only 30*F above ambient (pretty good for a Feigao). The battery packs do seem hot though at 75* above ambient. Are they fairly new, or tired old packs? If you don't mind losing a bit of top speed, gear down a bit (either increase the spur and/or decrease the pinion).

If you don't want any losses in top speed, try dialing in a bit of punch control in the ESC. This will make your launches a little more tame, but be gentler on the batteries.
