Also, properly tuned nitros don't overheat. The tune of the engine will still determine operating temperatures.
But that 'lil radiator looks soooooo cool  |
While tune plays about the largest role in a nitro engines temperature, so does the amount of airflow and the load placed on the engine. Water cooling would keep temps more consistant and allow tuning to be based solely on power and lubrication. Plus it just looks damn cool
