Air Cooled Electric
Actually, I don't want the upper hand....I want the under dog!! I am going back close to my thermal gear ratio - 87/27. I think with the cooling holes in the body it will make the difference. Besides, I don't want to make a drastic gear ratio change if all I needed was a little air cooling.

BMW
The BMW L12 LMR body seems to be the one to help with airflow for the thermalling issue. Even with the duct work and everything on the other bodies, it seems that there is more air flowing through the Beemer. I am going to work on getting some air onto the motor as well.

your gear mesh a little too tight in the qualifier ( can you say sabotage )
Just kidding about the sabotage part

Beemer
It seems like the BMW L12 LMR body with air ducts cut out promotes longer run time without thermalling issues. It must be because the back of the car is completely open and lets the air through the car the best. We'll see on the hot day coming up on the 3rd.

Fireball Racing motor plate
We got some new motor plates from Fireball Racing. They are strong thin and have allot of ventin on them to get rid of the heat from the brushless motor. IF the weather stays nice around here we can get a good test on them this weekend.

Good Heat Sink Motor Plate
Looks like the motor plate is the answer so far. Pete got it thin, strong and it seems to dissipate the heat very well. Track temp was 70 degrees and the motor stayed below 130 degrees and the speed control was around 152 degrees. The true test will be in the heat with a 120+ degree track temp.....then we'll see.
