    safe tempatures

    What are safe tempatures for motor esc and batterys. This is for leopard motors mostly running 5s and 6s 4074s and 4082s 1600kv to 1800kv swordfish 200amp escs and hobbywing 180amp escs. The motors i keep in the 35,000rpm range so i guess thats considered race setup. Im ending up with 115 to 130 on the motor 125 to 135 on the batterys and anywhere from 90 to 110 on the esc is this alright i dont want to kill anything ive already had my share when i first started. Thanks for the help.

      The OP may not be so safe later in the year. How long did it take between stopping the boat and actually measuring the temps? The ESC can cool off by over 50*F in a couple minutes, the motor and packs not so much. These setups may be too much when the air and surface water temperatures reaches 90*F+ in summer. Just watch your run times, the longer you run the hotter these setups get.

            All the connectors, endbell of motor, caps on esc, and all over the batteries, like fluid intimated....work quickly for more accurate readings
