I've not checked temps but you can touch / hold the motor no prob after a 15 minute final, I'll see if i can borrow a temp gun next time. according to the advanced calculator a 14t pinion with the 2200kv motor should give me a max speed of 35mph and require 6000mah for 15 mins. Tbh I cannot use WOT (the track i race at is fairly small with a good lap being around 20 to 30 seconds depending on the layout they are using, the straight is short and very bumpy (
