I saw one guy post pictures of holes drilled in the chassis to help the motor breathe. I don't know if this weakens the chassis or not, but it will let dust in (a big factor for my local track ). So far I've been running mine and temps are remaining below 140ºF, which is fine for the motor. The plastic under the motor gets a bit warm, but nothing disastrous I think... It's already plenty fast and I don't foresee my gearing it up to the 175ºF+ mark in the near future... So I don't think I'll be drilling holes anytime soon... Plus, I don't recall seing any of the sponsored racers drilling holes... SO why would I...

Just food for thought...
