1. 175*F But only with a Novak ESC, LRP has no motor temp shut down
2. Sure but it dosent hurt Sintered Rotors. 175*F is where bonded rotors start to get hurt.
3. No, just gear for the fastest lap time. Forget about motor temp with sintered rotors...its all about lap times. Gear ups until they stop improving and then drop back one tooth.
Note that guys with good setups that drive well and maintain fast corner speeds can run bigger gears than less experience racers. Gear for what makes YOU fastest. Do not gear based on the local fast guy.
