The track is normally very loose because of dust. Any ideas?
I was running warm also but I use a lot of brake and pump the brake on the radio like an anti lock brake. I removed the radio box and used the servo mount like the scte 2.0 . The receiver and transponder mount to the side and that will give you room to mount a fan. It fits between the front diff upright and mudguard, just need a little shoe glue. Also trim the back of the body to let more air flow thru. The fan blows air under, down the side and across the top.
