The highest temp I saw after a short bashing session with a couple wide-open-throttle runs was 142 on the motor and 137 on the two speed controllers. The Traxxas instructions say the motors should be kept under 200.

I appreciate the Cons...those are some things I had not thought of. I'll continue testing, but I need to go somewhere with a little more room because it is so fast I cant keep it at full speed for more than a second near the house.
