I know exactly what you mean! i thought that running a lower KV motor with a larger can would result in lower temps whilst running gearing for higher top speed. But i found this was not the case.

I am running 6s geared for around 53mph with my 1600kv motor and temps are just about fine. I will be running 11/46 and i will save 13/46 for only road use.

I was hoping to have speeds of 60mph on 6s with my more powerful motor! but this is not the case, and in order for me to reach those speeds, i will need o run 8s or more which is fine by me.

It does seems that you have slightly over geared the motor for the number of cells you are running... may start using 6s?
