It depends what you've done already and what truck you have. Cutting a hole in the body helps, I've also been working on a sort of air scoop which will collect air at the front of the truck, accellerate it, and blow it over the heat sink.
Lower percentage nitro fuel will help, as will richening the mixture.
Also, you could buy a sun shade and a fan and sit under it drinking a cold beer...that will stop you overheating lol.
Hope the above helps though.

Another way to keep cool is drive it into a lake Did you all catch that video on this guy driving his rig into a pond??

Yeah, was it the one where they were at the park with a T-Maxx and he drove it straight into the lake?
Damn me it floated as well. Great quote from the kid though
"Can you drive it again today?" The kid was lucky he didn't go swimming!!!

ERSO.BANKS.NYC...welcome to the south, humidity central...lots of Nitro here, cut holes in rear by head, a hole in the front and rear windows on the side your cooling head is located...make or purchase a cold air intake for you filter to get it away from the engine...and learn to tune, heat sensor is the best thing to own and well worth the $$..

You may want to look into a Nova Pro head as well. They are supposed to provide up to 40% more cooling than a stock head. They're extremely pretty too.

More air= More fuel, tuning is your key factor. But a nice big head will help to keep it realy cool!!
