mmm v3 thermaling issue

[sweetride4me]

I went and put the castle link software on my comp and plugged in my MMM V3 and all I did was set the batt cutoff to 4s and punch control to 50%... now it has been in my 68 deg office all day and I plug her in to try it out at lunch and instantly literally 4ft from me it goes into what must be thermal mode... the esc lights are blinking and the fan is on, as soon as the light goes to orange solid the fan goes off and it will go another 4ft and then the fan comes on and the lights are flashing again.... this thing isn't over 80 deg it's cool to the touch... what's going on????
