Hey gang,

Just wondering if some of the more experienced techs or those who know electric motors know can offer some sagely wisdom on adding vents to your motor to help it cool.

I saw this,

and figured I might try it with my SHS motor. I'm trying to keep costs down on my builds and SHS motors are a nice price, but heat up more than I would like.

If one WAS to do this to their motor can, would it cause significant problems? I assume it might attract a bit more dirt inside the can, but since it's housed in the pistol grip and the air would be pushing out of the holes, I imagine it wouldn't be too bad. Also, do think it would affect the integrity of the motor structure and it's interface with the bevel gear?

Thoughts? Comments? Anicdotes about whacky modds?
