Outstanding project so far. Kudos to you and others like you for daring to walk barefoot on the cutting edge of electric R/C.

One thing troubles me a little, looking at that motor box. Are those few holes at the front going to allow sufficient ram air volume to reach the aft motor to keep it cool? Maybe the addition of some wedge-shaped scoops on the outside of the box would help force some more air back there and through the fuse for the batteries. That poor aft motor is blanked from almost all direct air flow as it appears now.

I worry about outrunners running too hot and tossing magnets or demagging at high temps/currents.

Of course, some people tell me I worry too much. [X(]
