i have my rustler 2.5 all tuned up and everything and the whole body is blocking the air to pass through to the motor hence making the motor get hotter alot quicker. What I am going to do is cut out the windshiel part of the body where itll alow air to pass through. to fill up the windhield there what I was plan'n on doing was putting a screen net to keep particles from flyin into the engine. any thoughts or comments or ideas..?

Don't cut the whole window out or you will weaken the body a lot (from experience). A screen is Ok but honeslty you get very little dirt coming on from the front that can be blocked by a screen that is big enough to allow adequate airflow (read: tight screen will defeat the purpose of cutting out a portio of the windsheild, large enough screen will allow almost all dirt to pass through.

A screen would pretty much be usless. Most of the dirt that gets on the car comes from under the body shell anyway. And you don't have to worry about getting dirt in the engine as long as you run with an air filter...

The sticks tend to get bound up in the wheel and arms more than anything, but if your goal was to keep sticks out, a wide pattern would work in the highly unlikely event of a stick hitting the top part of your body from the front.
