I did some looking around and castle says the max temp you should see is 180f. Start getting hotter then that and the magnets start to demagnetize. So 155 is definitely hotter then I ideally want but I don't think it damaged the motor or anything.

update: I was able to run a couple more packs through it today with the same set up. Since its so hot here i decided to fill up a big water cooler with ice water and pre cool my electronics. Just hooked up a cooling tube from the jug to my cooling line in the boat and let it trickle though until the motor temp was down to 70 or so degrees, the esc was getting cooler faster then the motor so it was down to 60. Limiting my run time to 2.30 and doing the little cooling trick i was able to keep my temps in a much better range. Motor was only 125 esc at 115 and the batts were about the same, still seeing heat in the connectors but i can live with it, 150 isnt too bad and nothing is coming desoldered so...
still working out some bugs, I think i may need a new/stronger servo, boat doesn't want to respond much to left rudder input unless you let off the throttle and let the bow settle then you can get back in it, it seems fine to the right though. I also trimmed about a 1/2 inch off the rudder and rounded the bottom and leading edge at the bottom of the rudder. Didn't notice much if any difference from that though. This rudder is ok but i probably wouldn't buy another. To me it seems like it is pretty sloppy, even my PB and AQ rudders have less play.
Having a little problem with water getting in so i dont want to put my Eagle Tree in it until i get that sorted out, thinking it has to be through the drive line cause it isn't getting water in it just sitting in the tub.Comment
