new to lipo TEMPS

The batteries are still kind of in a safe zone, but they're approaching the limit that most lipos are good for. I think the max safe temperature is about 135-140F; for example, my lipo has a label that says don't let temperature of battery exceed 140F.

They should still be fine, but you should definitely monitor them, and perhaps drop a tooth or two to be safe on the pinion. Alternatively, you should probably invest in a set of higher power batteries I think, though I would imagine the True RC batteries would run a bit cooler than the maxamp ones (even if the True RC batteries are what, 15C? That's still 96 amps vs. the Maxamps 20C of 80 amps cont.; so a bit more room for current draw).
