Hi hardmankam,
I did another run yesterday. Almost similar weather condition. The old different is the FDR I use now is 6.9. The motor is now 10 deg celsius cooler. Now it is 88 deg cooler in the acceptable range.
Does lower ratio actually lower motor temp, where all other conditions remains?
My esc setting are
#4:3
#9:4
#12:4
#13:6
#14:4
#15:5
Question, what affect motor heat. I notice that this track, (the city is in a valley) we ran on is always hotter on motor. However earlier this month, we ran a race up north. 400km away closer to the seaside, we can run higher boost and turbo and yet the same motor is cooler. That put a question mark on my head!

straight is 35m long, with semi-technical infield.
outside temp: ~ 22C, track ~ 35C-40C
motor temp after 6 mins: ~ 60C (x11, 10.5r, Zero timing)
It looks like your motor is quite hot. Check your pinion & spur gears to make sure they are not binding. Make sure your transmission is also smooth. Are you running any motor timing?
