I hope I didn't kill this motor. It's the only good one I've got.
???? mine is coming off at 98-105* every time, and I've been TQ and winner most of the time. I think the key is don't fight the car, it is a little rear loose and if you 'fix' it the corner speed is lost and results in drag producing the heat.
