I must by one LUCKY guy.

I was out driving my rusty today and temps average 125 for motor and 145 for esc. Well, as always during a bash, the truck does a roll over (like at 5mph). While flipping it over I decide I had better check temps, just in case. When I check temps, I notice my mm esc smoking a little bit I immediately unplugged my batt. The mm esc read 330 and the medusa motor read 220.

I almost took a double step when I saw those temps!!! After letting everything cool down, I decided to see if by chance if everything worked. To my surprise, the esc and motor when back to operating (at normal temps) as if nothing had ever happened. The only thing I can think of that would cause this issue was a binded drive train...I think some derbis got stuck because everything is smooth now.

I am clueless and dumbfounded at the same time. lol
