I think each Neu motor has it own comfy temp. I have used quite a few Neus and each tends to run at different temperature pretty consistently. I run a 1515 2.5d on 5s in my RC8 and it seems to like to stay around 160-170 no matter what I do after a 10-20 minute main. As long as you aren't getting up to 180-190 and crossing 200 degrees I wouldn't worry about it.
On the other hand, I have run a 1509 in my buggy and it was almost always around 160. I have also run a few 1512s. My 2.5d almost always ran around 140-150 until I smoked it one day (bad plug, motor came off track at 300 degrees with smoke pouring out of it). My 1512 1.5d rarely ever got above 140 degrees on 4s, but the batteries were another story. My 1512 3d seems to be running pretty cool.
