Does the V3.0 firmware for the LRP SXX TC V2 actually make the motor run cooler as mentioned in the firmware manual?

Also, regarding Mode 2 "Feel/Active Torque Control" in V3.0 firmware, are settings 1 - 3 for the 540 X-12 motors or the 550 X-12L motors or both?

I was running my SC10 4x4 with the LRP SXX TC V2 (w/ V1.5 firmware set @ 1,6,0,0) and the LRP X-12L 4.5 turn motor geared 12/62 and had motor can temps of 170 - 175 F after a 6-8min run...
