Depends on the size of the track and your heat management. I'm running the 4.5 and recently switched from a 15 to a 17-tooth on a large (250'x150') track. With the 15t my temps were hovering around ~100, with the 17 I'm at ~135. **Edit: DOH, this is on the Hyper not the Jammin... hate when I forget which thread I'm in :)
