I just got home from racing mine, Temped it after the race highest temp i read was around 72 Celcius so its while its running hot its not running too hot.
Racing in 21.5 Blinky Touring Car
I have smelled mine too. Its a new 21.5 in a f1 car.temps have been 150-160f but it smells burnt every time I run it. I thought it was just because it was new and some of the materials were burning off and settling in. I got it to 180 last weekend at a different track and it still works perfect. I backed off of the timing and gearing just because I don't want to burn it up. Not sure why its smelling like this. I am racing again today so I will post if it gets any better. I hope its just settling in and not becoming damaged but it still runs great.
