LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

There are some that may not agree with this but I did a few things to seal the openings of my NEU motor. I know the holes in this 1521 motor can offer some airflow to help cool it but where I run the truck, I don't get airflow, I get dust flow. There was way to much dust and debris getting inside the motor and bearings. So I sealed the rear with Goop around the wires and a piece of flat Lexan stuck to the motor with servo tape. For the front, I made a disk out of a thin piece of aluminum with just a hole for the shaft and two holes for the screws. Air can still get in and out of the motor but it is restricted. This should make it very difficult for dust and debris to get inside the motor. This is something I am trying here, I need to see if it will change the temp of the motor while running this way.

I use aluminum tape to do the same thing on mine. Not sure where it can be bought (I get it from work) - but that stuff works great in certain applications like this.

Aluminum tape!!! I have a roll of that somewhere! I should be slapped I never thought of using that, it's a great idea and would've looked better. I think I will remove the Lexan in the back and replace it with a piece of aluminum tape. Thanks for the idea.
