Hello need from your help.
So today i receive my Infrared Thermometer
So i check my temperature:
Battery: Lipo 2s 1550mah 20c
Stock Spur and pinion
Drive time: 15 minutes
After 15 minutes here is results:
ESC: 160F (71C)
Motor: 153F (67C)
Battery: 125F (51C)
So what you think is that normal ?
And one more question what maximum Temperature can i have for ESC MOTOR AND LIPO? i want to know just for information.
Thank you.

I would say your temps are high but still in the safe range.
Motor and ESC should not exceed 200º. At 200º the magnets in the motor will suffer damage and the ESC will shut down in thermal protection mode.
Lipos usually dont get as hot as yours is but most wont suffer real damage up to about 140º

from what i have read and understood, these temps are fine
should not be any where near 100 degree celcius
at this temp, stuff starts shutting down, or going bang in a big way
