Overheating!
IT GETS HOT!
My heatsink and motor get hot enough to fry an egg now that i got a stage 2 motor (yellow) and some rayovac rechargables! After about 5 mins of run time i have to quit because im afraid of screwin it up. Will the motor burn up if i dont let it cool or is there a way to keep it cool while im using it?

Is there any type of fan that would fit in these? I found a mini intercooler on ebay but they wanted 16 bucks! I might try to sqeeze the fan (the small one) from my CPU in there.

No need to type so large. I run a stage 2 without a heat sink and on 6 cells for 10-15 minutes, and it get hot, but still runs fine. Yoiu should be ok running it longer with a stock setup.

At radio shack i saw a mini fan i guess you could put it in your xmod and it would cool it off, it looked just like a fan in a real car.
