my gear mesh was too tight on my front diff awhile back after i redid (too many shims on the wrong side, and my motor was running a good 20* hotter than normal after i fixed that my temps went back to normal.
another thing to look at is it really doesnt matter that the neu is up 170-180 they told me their motors would run fine all day long at these temps, so check your temps and sceduled stops through out your run and after it gets up to 170 see if it goes anyhigher as you continue to run and find out where it tops out, in our 30 minutes july 4th a main my 1515 was running 175 at 15 minutes and at the end of the race it was 173, they will top out like this, and nue told me as long as its below 190 its fine to run them at that temp as long as needed.

Well I checked over the drivetrain today and it all seems normal. I put a 12T pinion in and changed the start power to medium but won't have a chance to give it a proper run till tomorrow. I took it for a quick run in the street and it doesn't to long to get to top speed. Probably be under geared now for the track. I do notice how ever that when the motor is connected to the spur the buggy is alot harder to push and when driving it sort of feels like I am running drag brake but I have that dissabled
