Does anyone put air holes in their buggy bodies to keep the electronics cool , or is that just a short course thing ??

I could easily put a few holes in the windshield of my stock body . I have a back up ESC and motor in right now . Novak Havoc Pro and 8.5 turn ballisitic geared 25/75 . The ESC was on the warm side after 10 minutes . It was 135 . Could easily put a smaller pinion on .

It is stupid fast the way it is . Probably to fast for serious racing . Just dicking around till I get my LRP sxx stockspec v2 back from repair . That speedo would be 110 degrees after 20 minutes . Cool ! Ofcourse I was running a 13.5 turn . Temps would be higher I am sure with 8.5 turn I have in their now .

I was also considering a fan on my ESC . Or is that also not a buggy thing ? It would be pretty cramped under the body with the fan on the ESC . Not even sure if it would .
