I plain on just cutting a small whole in the window so air can get to the motor. I'm not going to do what I have done with the stock body and cut the whole window out. I'm Probley going to cut out the whole middle and leave the rest there so it will have the window as a brace.. once again thanks to all who have helped.
It might prevent further 'splittings', applied the HD cloth duct tape evenly, perhaps 2 layers if you prefer, but bear in mind it'll make your body shell slightly 'heavier'...

I have the Proline Ford F650 body for my Savage, besides trimming the heat sink and the fuel tank lid area (I didn't do the 'mid-tank' mod, so my fuel tank is still beside the engine); I only cut a 1.5" x 1.5" square but round 'corners' cut-out at the 'wind-screen', the side 'windows' I didn't cut a thing.
