With a 5 minute run the motor temp is 77 deg C, is this too hot? (Maplin IR thermometer N92FX currently half price @ £20)

Currently there's only one hole in the front of the body shell over the motor, if I open the rear facing hole I'll get an airflow over the motor and drop the temp some more?

Any other thoughts welcome

that is 2hot imo opinion thats about 170 f and only 5 mins run time yikes make sure you dont have some binding going on in your cvd or diffs or something,something is not working smoothly imo....

i ran a new lrp sxx tc and a 7.5 ballistic with a 21pinion and after like 8 mins runs i was coming off around 148 to 155 or so
