Motor running hot!

[ric4nier]

I had my first flight today, heli flys great! Just wondering on the motor running hot, it was160 degrees after flight, stock motor, not sure why it's that hot, everything else checks out??

Thanks

It runs hot, but runs great
We had some pretty strong winds today (5 Bft.) and it stayed relatively cool.
So i think if the air stream around the motor improves it will run cooler.
I had more than enough power to fight the wind btw.
But again, it also runs well when it's hot.
So i'm not worried about it at all.

I cut holes into my canopy in the two O's of the PROTOS and into the P and the R too.
It's barely noticable but increases airflow drastically and cooled my battery and motor down for about 10 degrees.
It works almost like a Ram-Air intake ;-)

The manufacturer states this is normal. It is well known this motor runs hot. If the heat bothers you, you can install a Kora motor. Don't touch it and go fly otherwise...

Soon there is a tailored Scorpion motor which is 880kv, it is awesome. Much more power than stock and runs MUCH cooler to. I will be doing a post with some FDR etc soon on this motor after abit more testing on it.

Im sticking with 1000kv version and 16T for hot 2800 RPM governed on 7S A123
