The motor connectors were 185F, and esc connectors about the same, "HOT" !
I really like the BJ 29, it handles well and hit 51mph, running 6's, a fun little boat, but I am very disappointed that I can't run the 6's, as advertised, without dealing with what I feel (and many others) are excessive temps. I am sure Proboat will say, as long as nothing melted, caught fire or shutdown, it's okay and not a problem, but for me and apparently lots of other BJ owners it is a problem. After reading several threads relating to this issue, I have decided to upgrade the esc and ordered a seeking 180 from OSE today and hope that helps lower the temps, will keep you posted. Thanks to OAS for this forum and to those who responded.
