That's almost impossible for me. I've never been able to get any brushless motor to temp at much less than 140 after a complete pack. It just doesn't happen with my driving style, especially when geared for 50 mph in a residential street.
Actually, i get some pretty good motor temps (around 135-140) when i don't have to use the breaks very often. I also run on a 60ft long track where I am never able use more than 1/4 throttle. Even with the Castle Neu 2650 on 4s and 5s, the motor temps still hover around 140. The MMM fan, however, turns on after 3 minutes. Yikes! But oh yeah, I also get 35 minutes of continuous runtime after that on a 3900 mah 5s pack, which goes to show how much power I am also not using by doing this.
