brushless motor temp.

coming from a buggy racer...right around 150 to 160...

Depending on the motor.. Novak says 160-175 max for a Ballistic... I had an LRP X-12 7.5 in my Lazer FS 4wd that would normally see 180-185 after a good run.. Geared properly.. It was normal.. However, If a Novak Ballistic or Orion Vortex Pro got that hot.. That's a different story

Generally I try to stay below 70-75°.
You might want to consider the season you are racing on, depending on that you can find an ideal temp now but within few weeks ( northern emisphere ) you will have to gentle the stuff a bit dealing with summer 35-40° daily routines.

i was running around 180 on my traxxas slash and thought i needed a gear change , but then i but a on board factory fan on it and now running cooler and longer times. i also throw a seperate fan on it in the pits while i am on down time. this is just to cool it down quicker so i can get back out on the track faster, i hate sittin on my ass when im paying for track time.

180 is pretty high. If the fan is keeping it down that's good though.

++++ on previous post. Below 170 degrees on most motors will keep you in the safe zone.
