What is the maximum temperature a Mega Motors can reach?
MEGA Motor recommends that your motor not exceed 140 degrees F. As a rule of thumb, you should be able to hold your finger on the motor after operation. If the motor burns your finger or is uncomfortable to hold, it is too hot. Motors that are continuously operated at high temperatures will suffer from demagnetization of the permanent magnets and lose power. Models such as airplanes should be designed with air flow around and through the motor. For helicopters an impeller or fan blade can be added to the motor shaft to create cooling and increase air flow. Heat sinks added to the case are also a good option for cooling. Cool motors such as MEGA Motors run better and last longer.
