Default Normal Motor Temps???

Hello,

I was wondering what is considered to be a normal motor temp after a flight? I have just started to "break in" my batteries by running the motor. I am seeing my motor at 120-130 degrees F after running two 3 minute periods at half throttle. At what temperature does the motor get damaged? I am running a Plett 30-10, phoenix 85hv and Tanic 5s2p packs. I hope I will finally get this plane in the air this weekend, if the rain will hold off.

Thanks,
Emory.
