With the eagle tree temp sensor, the temps are consistantly 30 degrees cooler and this is using thermal paste and tape to cover and attach the sensor to the motor. All runs so far have been done outside on a road.

I used the Eagle Tree blub sensor taped to the can using silicone thermal tape. I also have a Raytek temp gun I used to spot check the temps. I didn't use the Raytek when I had the 13T pinion on and only have the Eagle Tree data, later I used the Raytek to spot check the motor temps using the other pinions, I don't recall the exact temps, but they were all higher (140-160 range) I assumed this was because of the higher gearing but as you stated it may have been because of the Eagle Tree sensors. Next time I will use the Raytek on all the test runs to verify the temps. When I first got the Eagle Tree I checked the sensor comparing it to what the Raytek was reading and they were both pretty close. So I am not sure it's off by 30 degrees, but we will see.
