I didnt have a temp gauge so I don't know exactly how hot. (I went and bought one today). It was hot enough that I could only hold my finger on it for a 5 count and then I had to pull it off. I know that is still probably OK... But barlely and that was after only 3 minutes. Granted, I was running it pretty hard. Full throttle runs across an open grass field.
I know its going to heat up either way, buy it shouldn't overheat if I'm not pushing it to or past its rated constant amp limit. Should it? It didn't thermal, but thats only cuz I stopped running it before it did. Another miute or so and I gaurantee it would have shut down.
I just dont get the whole amp rating thing. If its going to overheat and thermal at a much lower constant amp draw than the rated 125, why are they rating it for 125? Shouldn't they rate it at 80 or something then?
