Could you be more specific about checking the motor mount? I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

A motor mount can flex under load. If it heats up enough it might flex more than usual. What is it made of?

Ummm metal... Lol I am not sure it looks like cast aluminum. I put a brace under the motor and set the mesh a little loose and it didn't change anything. I doubt it's the mount but I'll find out for sure next weekend when I try it in my converted mbx buggy.

I was thinking, don't those temps on my 1800 seem a bit high too? I am pushing that motor a little on 17t but 16t is only about 36 mph.

Still doesn't make sense, I'm often getting higher maximum amps from the 1800 and less heat... But my friend who geared for the same speed in his xray with his 1800 had his spur smashed against the pinion and binding in his front diff and had about the same temps.
