Don’t have that setup so just throwing ideas out to check and maybe someone in group with more direct experience can help troublehoot? Is it the 120A version?
Checked manual, doesn’t look like v3.1 has option to run combo sensored/sensorless mode; sensorless supposed to run more efficiently therefore cooler.
What is motor timing, ESC boost/turbo settings, running mode, etc.?
What is gearing? Taller tires would require smaller pinion. EDIT: earlier post said started at 16T, went up to 18T, probably needed to go smaller so 15T.
Any binding in drivetrain?
What is running weight? Heavier might require smaller pinion.
Have you cut out any holes in rear of body for hot air to escape?

car is fairly new, no binding, nothing fancy with setup, it worked fine with a 5.5T motor for about 30 packs, then the motor thermaled, I swapped out a 7.5T which ran perfectly fine, but I wanted more power so I tried a 4 Pole motor which had temp issues right out of the box... I am going back to the 7.5T next race day with plans to try a 6.5T next go around when I get more funds in November.

I do have some past experience with Novak motors successfully working with my HobbyWing ESC's so I think I might give this motor a shot, hard to beat for the price:

I recall that the Novak motors weren't known for power, so this might actually be a good thing by hitting the sweet spot that I'm looking for, plus I'll get to run a little piece of history in my ride for old time sake, plus they guarantee delivery by this coming Fri so I'll have it just in time for the ROAR Regionals in my area, not that I expect to podium or anything like that, I expect several team drivers to be running this race

Only problem with the HobbyWing motor is that I already have it in my SCT410.1 and I know how much torque that motor puts out, which is more than I really want... I feel like I'm in a Goldie Lock situation, ha!

I have a 5 turn Tekin torque motor in mine and it goes. I did add some turbo and boost to it for some fun, not much though, and a 15 pinion as well. I think the torque motor doesn't have as many revs and I may go to a 16 pinion and see what happens. I think a torque motor will work great in these, as my temps are really low. I cannot believe how well these handle, like a go cart! It is a little tough getting everything stuck in there, it is tight. My shock caps did not need to be drilled, so they must have fixed that, and turning them backwards to hear the click works great when putting them on. I am using a Savox 2271 servo and highly recommend this as it is stupid fast and plenty of torque. I really like fast servos. This servo was turning Badland tires in an 8th scale buggy!!

*** UPDATE
According to the specs here, the rotor is 18mm in diameter:

wow! that's stout! should be a runner. do they have higher KV's? edit: doesn't look like it. for a big track, you'd have to gear up pretty high. 20-21T?
and i agree 100% on the stupid solder tabs on the tenshock.

The 4400KV had decent top speed with an 18T pinion, but I bet you're right, 3900KV is 13% less KV which makes 20T right on the money to get the same top speed, assuming both motors provide comparable power. I like how the Novak motor is marketed for 2WD SCT and 4WD Buggy... the HobbyWing motors are marketed for 4WD SCT.
Here's the new track layout change they just made for the ROAR Regionals this weekend, fingers crossed I can stay somewhere in the mix with 1-2 of the team drivers, ha!

I found out that the wheel nuts should be tossed. I replaced them with Durango wheel nuts that work much better. This car is amazing, and patiently waiting for a chance to run it. Took awhile to get the steering figured out, but good to go. It is faster that what I am used to, so i dropped it to 6 volts and much better. I do have a very fast servo in it, so that did not hurt at all. The Savox 2271 servo is a beast. The Tekin 5 motor runs very cool in this!

Are you referring to TKR123 https://www.teknorc.com/shop/tkr1213...errated-4pcs/? Could you let me know what issues you've had with them? I know our orginal EB410 wheel nuts (TKR6274) did not have the best serration (and we've updated those) but I have not heard of any issues with TKR1213.
