I have a question about motor temps. I am running an rx8g2 w/ t8 2050 in an Agama A8 Evo geared 16/43. I have the stock 4.33:1 satalite gears, stock front ring & pinion (10/45), but under drive (9/45) rear ring & pinion. I just got a new lipo (SMC 6500mah 70c 4s w/ ec5). I had not run for a while before getting the SMC, so I just ran some laps to get back into the groove. I pulled the buggy off, I got tired of running & didn't hit lipo cut off which is set @ 3.2v/cell, after 42 minutes of running! The motor temp on the can was 193* (not really worried about the temp as it is VERY reasonable after the 10-15 minutes we actually race), & the ESC was showing 4 dots. I had always been under the impression the the motor temp would platue in temperature after a certain amount of time. Was this extreme run time past that platue or does it just keep getting hotter the longer you run it?
