160 is where most motors max, X12s max at 210. Staying at least 10 under the max recommended temp is easily safe and achievable. Remember, brushless motors have a sweet spot between timing and gearing. They'll also run hot OVER or UNDER geared! No need to worry about the motor falling off that hot with 2S. 1S most motors will start falling off around 140.
