In my baja the 2028 was running hot, so I went up two teeth on the pinion and it coooled down some.

Again this is just from my experience, I'm by no means saying that's the problem with your truck or saying I'm an expert at this...end disclaimer.
Diffing out def cause excessive heat, had the same probs with my EP buggys till the CD was running heavier fluids.
As if you hadn't heard it enough, 200* is excessive. With that much power to weight ratio you should be running 150-160* at the most. Gearing down may kill the fun a bit but def make a nicer/more managable drive and bring the heat way down.

My 2cents


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.
