It could be just bad luck or that your not getting enough airflow. On my 8ight I cut some holes in the right mud guard to get more airflow to the motor. I notice that using the breaks really increases the temps a lot. Try being smooth on the throttle and breaks, do not use drag break, and try to maintain as much speed as possible into the turns.

Other things you have to watch out for are bad gear mesh and any loose connections. Either will increase temps fast.


Check out my custom converted 8ight:
