Are you running the cooling fan on the axi? Is it getting too hot?

Yes I'm running the cooling fan on the motor.
I'm not worried about temps with 4S, but I would rather prepare to keep temps under control on 6S. It's gonna kick butt. My 6S battery setup is 5000mah, 20C and weighs 14.2oz. With 6S, the motor will be carrying more of a load.
The fan pulls air through the windings, which on the 8 turn, there seems to be a greater amount of air moving. The stator poles aren't quite so full is my guess as to why, plus the higher rpm's.
The fan takes care of endbell temps and the surface of the windings, the rest of the heat goes out through the motor bearing holder and into the mounting plate.
I need to block off the other motor hole in the plate to keep dirt out of there anyway. Why not turn it into something good for the setup?
