Could deans plugs be the weak link in an electrical system? I'm having trouble keeping my tekno neu cool. Last night it got up to ~185 after a full 20 min main. I was not going easy on it, but it's only geared for ~36. I don't think a Neu motor is suppose to get this hot under running condition. If the deans plug is causing some resistance under high amp draw could this be affecting the motor temp because of the voltage drop?
I think I'm going to try another connector type before I race again, a serious connector this time.

Are you deans warmer than your neu?
I don't think that heat generated by deans can travel so far back up to the motor. Heat from the deans has to go through the esc then to the motor lead then to the motor to heat it up. What's the temp on your esc? Which truck were you running? The weight? Batts? I am too curious how a neu can get to that kind of temp.
