i am happy that you started this tred because i was wondering. mine also runs very very hot, i dont have the exact temp because i dont have a temp gun but i put some water on the top of the motor and it boils instantly but the motor runs super when it is super hot. i disassembled it a couple of times and all looks ok and i found yesterday that it whent even better. i run losi nitrotane and my motor is freekin powerfull. i drift on jaco race soft rubber!!!
