@Thomas...
After one run (about 14min) the motor goes from a resting 68f to 160f without a shroud...with the shroud, the motor is cool (135f) in the center but the temp from the endbell still reads around 160.... I run this in an indoor clay track (

Complete setup is as follows:
16/40 gearing
5/7/3 diffs
Aka wish bones mounted on stock scte wheels
MMP (no timing or punch control...throttle curve is pulled up 2-3 squares from the middle to the upper left corner (forgot what this shape was called lol)
2s 65C 5600mah protek lipos
Dx3s sr3100t
I'm no hack so i don't spend a lot of time on my lid or hitting the pipes but I do run pretty aggressively...Btw, Thomas, I though I read somewhere that the windings could withstand 180c and the magnets 250c...???
