what are the max temps?

[jhautz]

I think the motor manufacturers will tell you 200F is the limit before you get into the danger zone. I personally wouldn't want to see my motor go over 180 or so.

That sounds about right. Most mfgs say to keep everything under 200f. I will agree with jhautz that 180f is about as high as I like to go...
