That's too technical for me, I'd mess that up for sure, I think I'll just drill a few small holes over the fan then. I ran exactly the same as you, Losi 6.5, 2s lipo and the motor was significantly cooler than usual so that smartsense thingy must really work. It is so smooth in throttle response too, I'm going to experiment with a few setting after reading this thread.

Cheers
