Not a speed passion but on this note....how do you measure?

Using a laser temp gun aimed at the exposed (ie hole in the can) parts of my motor, I have kept it to 60C tops, this means it is hot enough that I can still touch it for a few seconds.

I was running a Toro 160A esc and that kept cutting out as it was set to 105C for the motor temp and it was going as high as 109. I have refitted my older 120A with same boost/turbo/timing and that is only reporting about 10C over what the laser gun says ie 70 ish.

I know internally will be hotter but just trying to confirm that the 160 is dodgy and over reading and I can actually go up a little on the timing if only showing 60C external

cheers
