Yeah and often at our club races if you finish in the front of the pack the boats sit out in the infield for quit a while sometimes so heats just keep on rising by the time get to bring them in so I am sure the motor is actually running at a decent temp when at speed so maybe I just need to get a fan and blow it on the motor after the runs and run some cold water through the lines for a little to bring the temps back down because now that I am pushing 45+ in my 1/10 scale my motors are certainly generating some xtra heat and I would like to keep them in check as much as possible!!
I am running 50mph in my 1/12 scale with a 43mm prop and temps are just fine but would like to try out a 45mm prop but as tony says when you start running the 45s with the UL power it starts to heat up. Pushing the limits and props is fun but certainly takes its toll on the equipment regardless if your setup is fine tuned or not. It is just part of the game but IMO we can keep it in check with a little thought and ingenuity. I like where you headed with all this and you have me watching and thinking!
