maxxdude1234 · **Motor temps -** 06.26.2005, 02:06 PM

Just got back from quite a hard run. For the first 10 minutes I did quite a few high speed runs, but mixed with some slower stuff aswell. I did a quick check on the motor and it's temp was 183F!!!. I let it cool to 160F and then run it with the body off. After doing this I noticed the temps didn't get above 150F at all.

I'm now considering putting a heatsink on the motor, and possibly cutting a hole in thw windshield of the body (nitro style). Would this have any affect on performance.

PS. Before anyone suggests gearing lower, I've already talked to Mike about this and I've got the exact gearing (maybe a little lower) that I need.

Thank
