since there is already a thread on it i figured i should ask. i have been having some issues in the heat dept. also. well, not completely but i want to get my temps a little lower if possible. i was running a Neu 1515 1y on 5s in my 8b. gearing is 16/46. when racing temps were always around 130 on motor, 130-140 on esc and 100 on batts. which is where i like everything. now i have switched to a hacker c50 7xl 1973 kv. i ran the same gearing and have just been running on the street so far. today temps got to 135 on the motor. so i am concerned on race night its gonna get closer to like 150 or more. which i really like to see my motor temps around 130 and not much hotter than that. is there anything i can do to get my temps down a bit with this new hacker motor? i am using the Neu for a truggy so i only have the hacker to run in my buggy.

also, if anyone can help with this. i like to use a clutch but when i do temps shoot up 20-30 degrees making me uncomfortable. i can drive with clutch or pinion but if i had a way to use a clutch and get temps around 130 i would. anyone out there using a clutch and seeing these temps on a buggy/truggy? what is your setup? i have only 5s packs too so my setup has to be configured for 5s.
