Default esc temp

so after destroying my 130 edge on the 4th flight due to heat I believe , I got the replacement back from castle , its a 120hv edge , its in my synergy e5 and its running on 6s atm( I might go 12s later that's why I went for the hv)
I had 2 flights this morning , one with a head speed of 2150 the other was 2250, both flight were in the 170 f avg temp range , on the second flight there was a temp spike up to 233 f , should I be worried about this, what is the avg temp I should be aiming for and how do I get there?
I have included the log in case there's anything that you can tell from the graph , I still can't read them

one other thing I noticed in the log . the throttle line has a small wiggle in it , I thought as it is governed it should be completely straight, any ideas what would cause this

Castles are good up to 100C/212F before thermal shutdown. Your average is about 150F which is very good. I personally think that momentary spike up to 233F may just be a logging anomaly from slow sampling rates since it immediately drops back down to normal. Once something gets that hot it would be able to instantly cool back down almost 70 degrees so quickly

Poor gearing is one of the main culprits for ESC heat, but your average power out is 80% with you tapping 100% on hard moves, so your gearing is fine.

You can change the data sampling rate to the max of 10hz in the software so you get a much more accurate read on things and see if you can replicate this temp issue again, but my guess is you wont see it. You will only get about 5 minutes of record time at the max rate

I'm also puzzled by the little anomalies in your TC since its fixed for governor, but once again see if this changes with a higher sampling rate

I have been having gov issues with my sk540"s which I think you are aware of , it seems to stem from this anomaly in the throttle output, when I spoke to castle about the burnt esc they mentioned it , I'm not sure but I think I have to get my radio checked . I will up the sample rate just to see whats going on(or at least let someone that knows tell me whats going on) and thank you for your input , like I said I have no idea what I'm looking at and its a really big help to know I'm on the right track
