I thought i maybe had answered my own Q when i read my post over again..

So i re-soldered the motor wires, to elliminate cold-soldering from the previous owner... And suddenly when test driving, the hottest point of the rear plate, was located in the middle and not on top at the soldering points... Guess i found a weak solder job there.

I`ll do some more testing tomorrow, since i only had half-charged packs to test with tonight, but atleast the motor wasnt reading over 71`C (160f) now.. Probably alittle more on fully charged batteries though, but this was approx 10-15min of _really_ hard driving on that open field.. Just about full throttle all the time, only adjusting to avoid flippin over
Several top speed passes.

BUT its still only -1C (30f) outside, so i think its still running to hot.
So any opinions would be interesting. I`ve got 4s, 5s, 6s to test with, but i would prefer 5s minimum as i love the power LOL..
I`m using the highest gearing i`ve got now,making 43mph at 5s, but i got lower gearing to test with.. The LST diffs really lowers the gearing alot..
