mine also gets very very hot. I started with 19 turn motors which got insanely hot so i thought it was my speedo. now i have brushless in it which also gets hot but no hotter than a 19 turn. Gearing too low seems to make it hotter (over reving probably). Seems fine for a five minute race though, i just make sure i take it off and let it cool till the next race. Sucks if you want it for long bashing sessions considering this car is more of a basher than a racer.
the heat sink kit may help a little, or get the fonz to drive it he will run it cool
