Acceptable motor/ESC temps?

Acceptable motor/ESC temps?
I got a Losi XXX-SCT and slapped a Reedy 3300 kv motor with an sc450 ESC that I bought from someone here. For testing purposes I kept the stock gearing of an 88T spur and a 16T pinion. This thing is a BEAST. It does wheelies with no problem. In fact, I think I'm going to have to weigh down the front.
After about 8 minutes of driving it around, I pulled it and took some temperature readings. I am getting 130 degrees on the motor and 105 degrees on the ESC heatsink? Are these acceptable temperatures?
According to RC Gear Head I should be shooing for a 12.28 FDR. Right now with a 88T Spur and a 16T pinion, I am getting a 13.37? Should I get a 18T pinion? Or maybe just change my spur and pinion all together to get the ideal FDR? Or are the temp readings ok?
