I didn't really need to, but I decided to gear up to 38mm and even then the temps only rose to ~60 (I checked it at 2.5 and 5 min marks to make sure the motor was safe) but I picked up another tenth, so I ran with that gearing all weekend and the motor was fine, never temped above 60degC

I'd suggest 36mm and profile 7 might be a good starting point for that motor on most tracks, and then go from there
Hey Craig, what is the final gear ratio that ran best with your novak 10.5? What do you meant by 36mm, I am a little confused.
