What sort of speed are you getting and what does the car weigh ?

I thought about a fan but that much heat that fast was enough to keep me from experimenting any further. I was running indoor clay so never "opened it up". Weight shouldn't be an issue since it's stock trl 22 kit.

I almost wonder if turning it all down and using less throttle could increase resistence and thereby generate more heat? (grasping at straws)
