Furthermore, if I were to swap the chassis and use the motor cooling plate, does using an aluminium motor mount (http://www.3racing.hk/products.php?products_key=2838) help?
I run a DB-01 with the baldre shell and have cut air vents in the front before the motor and at the back as well behind the speedo, i don`t really have any problems with heat or excess dirt (run on astro) regarding the reinforced chassis this would probably help but i use the stock chassis without any issues and i run a 4.5T losi system! You could put a heat sink on the motor also like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/540-Motor-Heat-Sink-Blue_W0QQitemZ330360078087QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_To ysGames_RadioControlled_JN?hash=item4ceafebf07

Sorry didn`t click your link! yes the aluminium motor mount is a must in my opinon

Hope this helps
