Thanks, great advice. It has probably been getting to similar temps since I got it so I'll budget for new motor. I fried a 540 brushed motor recently too but they are cheap to replace.89C is already 192F, you should not go above 170F (~75C) or your motor will die. The epoxy will break down and it kills a motor quickly.
In grass, watch your temps and measure every 5 min to get a feel for it.
My guess, your motor is already cooked and will break over the next 5 packs. Count yourself lucky if it does not but you won't make it through the season.
I found out the hard way as well.
I believe the epoxy itself is rated at 200F but keep in mind that you are measuring external and internal is always ~20F warmer.
My new v5 Typhon’s motor gets really hot on 6s with the stock gearing. Is it perhaps too tight of a gear mesh or should I install the bigger pinion when running 6s?
