This temp seems fine. If I am not mistaken "hot" would be over 150 degrees. So if you are doing 140 you are doing perfect. I run about 143 after about 15 minutes of running my 9xl on 5s2p A123. Oh and that is with fans on the motor. So I think you are doing better than I am. Here is some good information for motor like the feiagos and the mm on how hot is hot: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2200

Yah it was going for practice on friday night. I had it going until my Gorilla Strap broke and the Lipo was flopping around. Due to my hack work to hurry up and get it done, the ESC on/off switch was tied up with the battery cables so it pulled the switch contacts right off of the esc and my weekend with brushless was done for, still ran the nitro though. Time for some sodering to try and fix the contact on the board.

I won't be at the Ranch next month, but I will be at the Moto-Dome with it in April

I have a 16 tooth pinion I am going to try and swap. I am impressed, I could not heat up that ESC or Lipo hardly at all. I will try the pinion for now (I have a 16 tooth handy), I was thinking of maybe some ducting in the body to direct air more at the motor. I'm trying to hold out until the MMM system comes out until I have to upgrade if I do.

mustbnitro,
Notice that you have an 8T. Can you post some picture of how you mount the battery. I am doing mine right now and is looking for ideas.

I wish mine was that cool, I have an 8XL with RCM heatsink and 2 fans on 4s, 14/44 with a MM in a buggy, and my motor is between 80-90 degC (175-195 degF) depending on weather (not effected by temp much, but if it is dry it pulls a lot more amps with the better traction and gets hotter) after 10 minutes.
