Its a Losi 8ight-T truggy and I was only planning on using a 6s setup for bashing fun. It will race on 4s on a astro/grass track.

I did a run today on a grass playing field and got better temps -
Motor 120F
Diff 140F
Battery 100F
ESC - less than 150F (no fan on)
Ambient temp 45F

Diff still a little high so I might try 20,000 and see how it handles.

Edit: Found the Hudy setup guide which states in the centre diff oil 'thinner' section - "If a high-power engine is used you could waste too much power and sometimes “cook” the oil in the center differential because it overloads". I am sure that is what was happening.
