Too much motor heat - help!

[BrianG]

First of all, what are you using to read those temps? IR sensors can be sensitive to the emissivity setting, and since black radiates heat better, it could be tricking the sensor into thinking it's hotter than it is. Does the motor actually feel that hot?

Second, you mentioned changing the CD oil. Was there a change in temps before and after the change? I set my Hyper8 (1512/2d on 4s) with 50k diff oil and temps are great.
