The 90% rule is good - except for the ESC. The sensible way is to use throttle in the range between 30% and 70% if you can help it - better go full throttle than 90% (as far as the ESC is concerned, it does less work and does not get as hot since it's just switching the three phases then but doesn't have to "chop" the flow of juice for throttling back).
Sure you know that, but I think you didn't mention it in the video..
Cheers to your good advice and great flying - from Austria ;-)

Hold the motor and esc to your lips? If it's too hot, then you burn your lips. I'm sure what you meant was use a IR thermometer.

WARNING: In a lot of ESCs the heatsink is hold in place against the ESC itself by the plastic wrap, so just cutting a window could cause the sink to move off or not apply enought pressure against the ESC so it would overheat (not enought heat transfered from ESC to sink). I recomend using a zip tie to keep it tight pressed after cutting the window.
Last week after a crash (not big deal,repaired and flown again :D) i saw my heatsink come out of the ESC throught that window, fixed with zip tie.

@RCSuperPowers Dude, you shouldn't be saying "Hope this is helpless" or "If you want more helpless" towards the end of your video... The word you're looking for is "Helpful" ;)
