The temperatures did not seem outrageous to me. Motor was 110F and the speedo around 140F. Did the speedo go in thermal protection, or does it shut itself off in that case? What else does it sound like? A lipo issue? The next heat after a charge everything seemed to work fine again for the first 5 mins, but same thing happened again.
I had the same thing happen when the Reventon R and S were released. It is in your settings that can easily be changed on your box. It is either your voltage cutoff set on your batteries or the thermal protection. I believe it is the thermal protection. I lowered both and haven't had an issue since.
