Rule of thumb for CC-Neu motor heat?

I don't have a temp gun, but is there a rule of thumb (like: if you can keep your thumb on the motor for 5 seconds, it's ok) I could use?

Thanks

Loa,

If you can touch it for five seconds, you are hardly pushing it.

The motor temp should be kept under about 100C (the magnets are rated operational up to 180C.)

Oh... So much more than 600$ :-D Anyway I got the point. Towerhobbies from Canada = you pay more for shipping than your item, but I ordered a nice one from Dealextreme. Some ppl in the comments said they used it for RC.
