I think you are overgeared also, especially for that setup. (I get 67.8mph theoretical / 62mph drag adjusted on the gearing calculator)

Just as a note, and I'm not saying you did this, but make sure to set the EPA after doing the ESC neutral/max calibration. If you set the EPA to 60% and then calibrate I think that 60% throttle will register as the 100% point as far as the ESC is concerned. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, how does reducing EPA affect temps? I remember reading that brushless motors don't like partial throttle so much, is this true?
