Suggestions

- Weigh the truck setup to run
- Do a run with the stock tires
- Do a run with the screws out of the motor

This should at least increase your understanding of whats going on in some way.

Stock tires are long since thrown away

Most of the motor mounts these days cover everyone of those holes, that isn't a reason for higher temps. Keep them plugged.

Gear down if anything.

The screws are not going to make a damn bit of diff either way in terms of temps. Better to keep it clean

there is a block off plate that is suposed to keep people from damageing the windings just behind the end bell that would stop airflow even if he didnt have the screws in it

i see temps like that with the 2200 in my buggy on 5cell, you are fine
