LT, I take it from your first post that you assumed many others had cut holes in the shells for cooling, when judging by almost all the replies no one has a problem with overheating and no one had thought about adding extra cooling.
If you want to add cooling holes then there is nothing stopping you adding them, but if you are racing at a BRCA affiliated club the cut outs will have to meet the BRCA rules:
Quote:
23.14. Body shell holes/vents: The front and rear ends of the shell must retain some of the original profile of the two ends of the shell. Front and rear facing areas within the body shell surface which are marked with
the intention of removal to form ”air scoops/ vents“ are allowed to be removed, within a maximum dimension of 10mm in any direction regardless of the manufacturers marking. If no ”marked“ air scoops/vents are designed in the original mould to assist airflow to the motor or ESC, then material may be removed to a maximum of 10 mm. in any direction within a maximum square area of developed size 30 mm x 30 mm, in two places only. Windows are not allowed to be removed or include holes, other than for the purpose of the antenna.
