I must run my stuff harder than mike... I got my motors up to 200 degrees in testing yesterday at the track. That's after a very long run. After 5-10 minutes the temps are not bad... like 150-180 max. But eventually I got them hot. I ran at least 30 minutes with the truggy/1515... not sure exactly how long.

So I'm a little disapointed in that, but the motors still are awesome on runtime and they take a lot longer to heat up than my hacker or feigaos.

I have the cars geared for only about 30mph... not too high. That's about the same as mike's truck, and both trucks weigh about the same too.

I'm going to put a fan on them and see what happens. I think that will help a lot on a long run.

The biggest shock of the day was how great the Mamba Max worked. I don't think it ever hit 150 without a fan, and it temped like 120s with a small fan. I didn't check or record the mamba temps a lot cause it never got very hot so I wasn't concerned. Just surprised. :)
