If your finger sizzles, and you scream and yell and blisters appear on your fingers, then you are probably running it a little too hard. 
Seriously, the motor is fine to temperatures that would cause you a lot of discomfort... The main magnets in the 2200 motor (the HPI flux is based on the 2200) are good to 170C-180C, which is about a 120-140C case temp. The windings are also rated to 180C, and the main wires are rated to 300C.
So no worries at all. |
that's 250F btw
Patrick told me to tell you to get a temp gun before you bother him more. He's busy with the MMMXL
