The temps aren't crazy tho. 105 on the motor and maybe 115-120 on the esc. Could it be the battery just isn't string enough? Also, even Though the esc is relatively cool. The capacitor is blazing hot . It gets to 150-200 degrees
What are some brands? I'm already running a viper vtx10r. The thing is crazy fast tho. And the battery dies super quick and begins to get warm like 100 degrees ish when the cut off engages
