So asked around and changed my diff fluids from 3-5-2 to 5-10-3 and timing for D wind motors is mean't to be 0 not 15 or whatever the standard timing is on the Mamba ESC. I also changed the pinion to a 13T and temps went right down. I haven'y tried the 14T or 15T pinion again as even on 13T (42mph ish) it is still fast
