I need some help with high motor temps. Raced the rc8b yesterday, 5S lipo, 1700kv buggy motor, MMM esc, 5deg timing, 21/46 gearing (rc8 has 4.3-1 truggy ratio), radio throttle epa at 90%. 10 min heat race, motor temp 191 deg, esc temp 95 deg. It was about 78 deg outside, the motor also had a heat sink and fan on it. I'm about ready to dump this motor as it just runs too hot, I have tried every thing I can think of to keep it cool with no luck. Am I missing something, any help would be appreciated.
