Best place to take temperature readings? - 08.05.2009, 01:19 AM

Hi RC-Monster's

Got my MMM v3 back in action today, and wondering where the best place to take temperature readings on the ESC and Motor are?

I have a Raytek Laser temp gun and I get readings of:

60C (140F) on the wire end of the motor
45C (113F) on the pinion end.
ESC seems pretty consistent @ 37C (99F) all over.

my main reason for asking is the ESC. I found at times when I pulled the car up to temp it, the ESC fan was running, but when I temp'ed the ESC I got temps of less than 40???? This happened about 3 times>????

thanks all
