Cutting the shell is an option but will damage the fan if you roll, not sure about the nosram speedo's but with the novak GTB's people take the fan off and put it next to the ESC on the chassis. I personally dont run a fan with a 6.5 motor but its up to you.

I think 6.5 is equivelent to 11t brushed, feels about that anyway.

Sorry, cant help on the setup for that track. HTH anyway

You can take the fan off the top and put it on its side facing the speedo thats what most people do or they just take the fan off totally but personally i'd put it on its side next to the speedo

We run our B4's with LRP Sphere Comp speedos which are (I fink) the LRP branded version of the Nosram Matrix and they have no fans. Motors are 7.5T Vector's and we've only ever had one thermal cut caused by pulling too high a pinion and running for about 15 minutes non-stop.

I have the fan for my Matrix on it's side on the chassis in front of the speedo, no problems as yet, nowhere near the thermal limit (about 17 flashes on a bonded motor, 19 with sintered)
