Did you try lowering the gearing a bit? I've used both 15/51 and 16/51 and the 15T does make a difference if you are running it hard (in grass or such.) Generally I run the 15T, and put in the 16T for short runs, runs on pavement, or for pure speed.

My motor temps would get to ~170F max, but after about 45 min. of off-road dirt driving w/ the 15T. Esc sould be under 130F generally. Grass runs always heats things up much quicker.

The Neu is an awesome motor regardless, but a new pinion may be a cheaper option for a quick fix.
