What are normal and highest temps I should be running on my stock setup. The bigger the prop the higher temps correct? Thanks for the help

At this time of the year 100f on cells, Esc 100f, Caps 120f, Motor 115 f,
If temps get into the 140f range on the motor and other stuff than you should start looking into things.
Now on a outrunner motor temps can and will be higher and in the 180f range for the motor,
But the rest of the setup should be like the above temps on a inrunner motor.

Out runner? Not sure what that is unless spellcheck got you on the word rudder?

Thanks for your help

Hear you go this is an outrunner.
They are good power house motors and have a lot of torque.
But they do not have any real water cool for them other than a water cooled motor mount,
And that does not do much for them.
