hmm, ive noticed mine got hot (150-170) on the track after a 6 minute race, in a 4kg bugggy (1512 2d, 4s). i then did a 15 minute main thingy, and after the 6 minutes i came in every 2 laps to check the temps. it peaked at around 8-9 minutes at 178F which i thought was super dooper hot, so i ran a real easy lap and next reading was only 162F... again i did a normal lap and it was 150F...

im really confused but it seems like driving style makes a HUGE difference, in the space of 3 minutes (2 laps on a huge track) it can cool down with a gentle finger... so im not really concerned now as i know it seems like it hits the max it will go then levels off... which is good. even running around the yard at 10mph gets it to 150F after a few minutes. i think they just like a certain temperature and unlike feigaos, they stay at the temp for their entire lifespan!

gearing down didnt help so i just geared up again :)
