180*F max for the motor, ideally 120-160*F.
120*F max for lipos, ideally 100-110*F.
160*F max for the esc, ideally 100-140*F.

IF engine temps are high whats a good way to get them lowered? Im running the CC Mamba Monster 2200kv combo. Using 6mm bullet connectors. 48t metal spur 16t pin. I think it may be getting to hot after running for a while. it was so hot the other day that i spit on it and it sizzled right away. Im currently running the Losi conversion kit. I have the tekno kit in the box still.
