after 10minutes of racing the motor was 75°C and the esc 57°C;
after 20minutes of racing the motor was 91°C and the esc 64°C.

Now I'm stuck. I don't know what else to do.
Any idea?

I've found another post of guy having the same overheating problem, he contacted Castle Creations support and they replied that the Mamba motors can stand up to 250F/300F. Could it be possible?

Thanks.

I think Castle Creations is crazy if they say that their motors can withstand 250F/300F.. That is way to hot!! 75 more degrees and your polycarbonate body would start to melt..

Novak motors hit their breaking point before 200F, and they are built like a tank..
