I love driving this buggy. Had it out again this evening for a while - same results: 75°F ambient and 128°F for the motor at the end of the run. I'll post here if anything changes, or if I have any problems with the motor.
Edit:
Forgot to say- thanks Jeff, I like the look, too (my kids also think the bug body looks cool)
and reno - not sure about the bearings - never had to open my CC motor

And I should just clarify for the record - this is a smooth canned motor, without heatsink, without a cooling fan, and with a body that has limited air-flow. In other words, I've done absolutely nothing to keep the motor temps down - and it doesn't look like I have to.
