It would be really nifty to have the fans channel air past the ESC and motor and out the back in such a way that the flow does something positive for the car's handling.
The Chaparral 2J and the Brabham BT46b comes to mind! You wouldn't need much to start, you just want to get the most air to exit by the cut in the bumper and to keep air from entering by the sides. That way it would increase inside bodyshell airflow.
