And don't worry, i can back to RC after a 25+ year break!

BTW, only really reliable to measure motor and ESC temp is with an IR gun. Using your thumb isn't much use, as anything over about 60 degrees is pretty much too hot to distinguish. And most ESCs/motors will be usable (but not too happy) up to 80/90 degrees. Some (not the speed passion stuff you have) will hit 100+ without damage.

(One of my ESCs is rated to 120 or 130 degrees on the cooling plate! Certainly don't want to test that with your thumb......)
