Battery warm, ESC warm and motor hotter?

[jhautz]

How hot is "a little hot?". 130 degrees feels pretty hot to your fingers but really isn't an issue at all. Do you have a temp gun?

Sure, I'll use my temp gun next time to get a figure on it. Is it hot basically because it's spinning more than it should? Hence why gearing up a touch will increase the torque load on it but reduce the revs? Is that right?

Hey guys, is this theory right?
