Acceptable Temperatures?

[CAClark]

Ok, here is what I have in my Durga:

LRP AI Pro Reverse ESC
LRP Gt3 12x2 motor
4500mah Stickpack

Now the ESC is soldered direct to the motor. The ESC to battery now has deans connectors as the tamiya jobbies melted.

So I gave it literally a minutes speeding in the car park outside my apartment, and the motor & motor to esc wires are so hot that the cable tidy spiral stuff melted to the wires.

Is this kind of temperature normal in such a short run?

Cheers!
