Sounds like a grand success. How hot was your motor getting before? (Sorry for being lazy and not combing backwards through the thread).

The ForkenSwift motor body has never been too hot to touch. Not even so hot that I couldn't leave my hand on it indefinitely. With the exception of the commutator end bearing - it gets hot. Jim Husted said: "normal".
