Mega Motor Overheating Issues

[DCastaneda]

Hey guys, I'm currently working on a setup for my tekno 8ight for the track. Need some help as its getting hot and FAST.

Here's the setup:
Losi 8ight 1.0 with tekno conversion
Turnigy 6s 4000 30c
MMM
Mega ACN 22/30/3 (1270kv)
12/46 gearing

Power is OK low on power on the bottom end but plenty from about half throttle and above but the motor overheats VERY quickly. I'd say after 4-5 laps the motor is at 175-180*F. I was told this motor would be sufficient for a buggy application, but perhaps was misinformed? Its a small motor but packs a Huge rotor in that little case. Maybe my timing is off? It is currently at 10degress timing (normal timing on the MMM). I have searched for what is ideal on these 6pole Mega motors but found no conclusive info. If anyone can be of assistance it would be greatly appreciated. If not, anyone want to buy a Mega?
