What the max temp that the 1900kv T8 V3 4030 (buggy) motor should get? The weather temps are going up right now and I noticed my motor coming off the track at 74°C (165°F) after a 12 minute main.
I'm running an MBX8 with 16/46 gearing. 1 month ago I was able to do practice sessions about 15min and the motor never exceeded 63°C (145°F), but the outside temps went up by 15°C now.

I'm wondering if this still safe for my motor or should I change something? The temp was meassured with an IR temp meter on the outside of the motor can.
