Ok, I just put a pack of batts (6s) through it. I ran it real hard too.

When doing lots of donuts and drifting (WOT the whole time) the temps would get up to 170, but only then. Just driving it hard with no donuts and drifting and I couldn't get it over 150. I also ran it through a lot of dust. I wanted to see if the open design of the motor handled the dirt. So far, no issues, but the inside of the motor is for sure dusty. I believe that under normal driving this motor can be geared for 35-40 with no problems. I am still amazed at how fast it cools down! It will drop 20 degrees in only a few minutes!

Final opinion:

Pretty good for $30, but my castle 1518 is going back in. It just has so much more power/speed. I'll save the outrunner for when I hit the trails and when I do FPV....its just soooooooo smooth.
