My Revo was geared for 35mph when it temped 130F (80F day), but it was mostly a steady 1/4 throttle, and one long straight.

But I have found that the temps don't change much even gearing it up to 45+mph on the track.

Do you have any 6s lipo packs? If so, try that and gear for same speed, and try a 4s lipo as well... then see what the temps are. IIRC, when I used to run 7s2p A123 pack, I tried using 5s2p pack, and geared up, it just didn't have the power, and it ran hotter as well.
