castle/neu 2200kv with Mamba Monster. running Turnigy 5000mAh 25C 4S1P and Rhino 4900mAh 20c 5sp1. Just got thru running outside, loving it. so about the TEMPS. If i can touch the motor/battery/gears with my bare hand and hold it there and not get burned thats ok temps dont ya think?

Well ya, there can be mild burning, maybe some bubbling of the epidermis layer, and a bad smell. You should be good.

yeah, thats perfect. if you dont have a temp guage then basically if your motor is too hot to hold your finger on for one second its too hot. and your esc will kick the fan on and then thermal if its too hot. it sounds like everything is good and i would think so with the setup you have. i ran the same setup in my 8t. 4s, 5000mah, MMM on Neu 1.5d 2700kv and 15/48 gearing and never got too hot. so if i didnt get hot with that setup you definitely should not.

when should the fan kick on the ESC? i would rather have it running all the time, is there a way to do that?
