Extending the trim tabs really do anything???

Sorry not yet, The motor i was running did not have vent holes in it,
So i do not think it would have made much difference with temp.
Also need make or mod a cowl.
Did you get any temps yet ?

I would agree that venting the cowl would not change motor or ESC temps much, with the exception of the stock motor/ESC, which clearly needs more cooling (ESC needs a water-cooled cold plate). But on a hot day I imagine it will get warm in that compartment, and every little bit helps when it comes to thermal management, so I am interested in a material that would vent air but not let water in (not so much, anyhow).

Also I don't like having a fake vent, so I would like to make it functional for cosmetic reasons.

(I do not have any temps, though I do have a IR gauge, because my Rio is in drydock waiting for its brushless motor to be selected. But more on that in another thread, sometime.)

If you can paint like that !
Than you can fix a hole hear or there. lol
Its the little thing that add up with modding what you all ready have,
Just think or look before you jump into something, On hear Q&A we all try to help, Some times!
What did you do with your stock motor and esc ?
May be i could use it if still good.
Find out what size prop you have, The stock prop is a 42mm x1/4 pitch i think.

I was cleaning out the garage yesterday and actually ran across the old package for my prop. It's a Octura X640.
