My motor temp hit 205*F after 5 minutes and the outside air temp was around 75*F. I need it to run cooler, but how??? I thought I was already running conservative settings on my ESC.

My ESC settings are:

4/ 8
9/ 7
12/ 7
13/ 4
14/ 5
15/5

The car seems good all around with speed and braking, but the motor gets waaaay too hot! Please help!

4/ 8
9/ 7
12/ 5
13/ 4
14/ 5
15/6

Gear it a 6.8
I also recommend getting a fan on your motor.
