Default Cutting a Bulldog body for best venting on D8T-E??

Right now I'm using a couple old Bulldog bodies that were previously cut for nitro. I am getting a new body this season...and wondering if anyone has played around with different cutting/venting that will help keep an electric motor cooler. I'm in west Texas - so ambient temps are often quite high.

The vehicle is a D8T w/ RC Monster conversion. I'm not looking to drastically lower temps...but if a few strategic cuts lower temps by a bit, that'd be great.

I was thinking perforating the right half of the windshield area and maybe the right window and a few vents just above and just to the right of the motor can.


Thoughts?
