Not that it's super hot here, but it's 100 f or more occasionally and regardless of air temp I've yet to temp gun my motors or battery anywhere near an unsafe level for a brushless motor or pack. Mine stays under 110 most all the time, but I've seen other mention heat issues.
Am I just a lucky one or are others getting temp warm enough to cause concern?
I know surface brushless motors are fine up to and above 150 are these similar enough to be in the same range for being safe. Or since these cases spin instead are these going to be a totally different animal?
Never been inside a Solo motor as of yet so maybe someone else can comment but most adhesives used in motors start to melt around 150F.
I am also a big proponent of Boca Bearings. Rather than replace the motor pod I would always rebuild it with better bearings. Lots of great info like this on Boca's web site about high heat issues.
