Typically yes but what is it in? Check how many LED's are lit up on the esc temp gauge. With the FETS buried you cant accurately temp it with a gun. You want to keep it under 6 LED's. It will however shut off (thermal) before it is damaged by the heat.
This (below) is the same on the Gen2
-Temp Monitor - Reading the temperature monitor is easy and can show if a setup is not working efficiently. The above animation shows the RS internal temperature heating up all the way to just below the thermal shutdown threshold. Each time it flashes more LEDs after the neutral LED is showing the increasing internal temperature.
This feature is very handy for dialing in a setup that is within the limits of the ESC.
