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?
The truggy bodies normally have enough ventilation even without cutting extra holes in the body. Are you sure you aren't over geared or have a binding issue?
