I'll hopefully get a chance to run another battery and check the temps again. Surely the thicker diff fluids aren't making the motor run hotter. I only went 2000wt thicker in the front and 1000wt thicker in the rear

Never heard of diff fluids doing that .

It's getting hotter in Melbourne and was 28 today my temps went up about 10 degrees across the board from last run but all well within acceptable temps .

I run medium timing on my Medusa as i was told by others and Medusa recommends medium timing on 4 pole motors so maybe you can try that.

Check your bearings in the motor as well and your whole driveline as something could be binding .

With AKA couldn't find any in OZ either ,A Main is the best bet or Imapkt ( i do most of my business with them as well )or try ebay for a bargain . Kyosho MP9 comes standard with medium compound City Blocks so look for one that is being parted , there a few at the moment

I was told with 'D' Wind motors to run them on low timing and 'Y' can run medium+
I clean my bearings yesterday and put oil on them. Might check out the drivetrain but all seems fine. Might purchase a 12T and see what happens then. 13T (what I am not running) seems just right though (41mph) Know of any where in Australia that sell Mod 1 pinions?

Sorry , wish i did .

I have bought all mine from Mike RCM or at Impakt for Robinson pinions .

I have from 14t - 21t but destroyed my RCM 15t last week .
