But I swapped out the cc for a Trx VXL, and a 31t pinion. And now this thing is a bullet. I'm really impressed with this TRAX brushless combo. But the ESC is Friggin HUGE!! and it's running 12g wire to the motor.

Do you have the castle PC link up lead??? might be worth downloading the latest firmware onto the speedo and checking the timing settings..
I have been running the HPI version of this (exactly the same but rebadged)...Ran last time out with stock spur and a 24 pinion...temps well in the safe zone...approx 130F after about 7 mins ( 2mins warm up and 5 mins race)..(Castle recomend 200F Max but I wouldnt go higher than 180F to preserve the motor a little)
If you have got the lead download the latest firmware make sure the timing is either at default for the gearing I mention above or turn it down to lowest this will take about 30degs off the running temp, It will also give you alot more torque/punch and will then allow you to go up a couple of teeth on the pinion..
I have just done this and am running this sunday and starting with a 26 tooth pinion and stock spur and will temp check from there..
