To fix this buy a motor 2200kv or lower. I wouldn't run more than a 15 or 16T pinion with the 2200kv.
That also depends on the quality and type of the motor. I ran my SC converted RC8e (= heavier) on a Neu 1512 (2650 Kv) on a 19t-44T and it became 62 Celcius without fan (that's 143F for you guys) The MMM was cooler then that.
Also I run the 1515H 1Y (2200Kv) on a 23t-44T now and it runs way cooler because of the build-in fan. This is all offroad bashing on and off the track
