Thanks Brenner,

I am measuring 69C - 70C after landing with a temp gun on the rear of the motor. I assume the temp will rise slightly after landing because the fan is not running and there is no forced airflow over the motor.

In order to reduce these temperatures should I try and direct air over the rear of the motor or near the fan. Is there any way of testing the motor to determine if there is any damage. Last time I checked I was pulling 80-85 Amps static with 22x22R 22x20F 10.15 gearing.
