I've been getting my motor/battery combos lately that spec out in the ~38K rpm range with 4-6S lipo and Neu 1515/1512 motors.

I had a running concern myself that my temps were always high (around 150-170) after about 5 or so minutes of running, but one day I said so what if I end up killing the motor and just kept running. To my surprise I temped things at the end of about 15-20 minutes and the temps were still the same 150-170 range.

This took a real burden of concern off my shoulders as I realized that even though 160 may seem high, it is still well within the motor operating range and that was the stabilized high temp on the motor.
