i was always told that 100 degrees is MAX for a motor after this the insulation melts off
90 is ok for me , the motor has lasted all year so far and is still awsome
60 is still a little cool for me , i will test some more tonight

I've also been running my motor around 85-90C for quite sometime now and don't see any reduce in performance since. I used to run another motor about 95-100 but that one smoked on a nice sunny afternoon!...
I notice that lap times drop with temperature. So I always run my motors as hot as possible with consistent performance throughout a 5 minute heat.

Hi I recently purchased a version 3 SP 13.5 brushless motor. I have ran the motor on 2 race meetings and cant seem to get the best out of it. The motor has no punch out of the corners and no top end.
I am comparing this against a Novak SS 13.5
I am using a GM120 Speedo; final drive is at 5.88 and full advance on the motor. And profile 8 on the Speedo. Temp after running for 5 minutes 68.4C or 155F I have changed the gear ratio from 5. 4 to 6.2 with little improvement.
Advise please
