Body question

do you guys cut out the windows in your bodys for cooling? is it a good idea? does it matter???

Not in the winter, but in the summer it's good to cut a good sized hole in the windshield on the same side as the engine to allow air to rush around the cooling head.

yea i was thinking about making funnel kind thing and mounting it on the windshield, and have a tube that runs to the head so it will be like a cowl indution... ill post pics when i make it, i already have 3 designs drawn out, 1 consists of a paper towel roll crazy glue and some zip ties and paint... the 2nd consists of small pvc pipe pushed into a hole in windshield and painted 3 consists of this peice of plastic that was orginaly in a computer case to direct air from the cooling fans.. 4x4inchs and its perfect fit under the body lol ill post pics if i get around to making this poop..

I always cut a hole in the windshield, on the engine side as Rolex mentioned, I don't think tunneling the wind will help much and would be a lot of work.

As for cutting out all windows, I think this would seriously weaken the lexan and first topside landing would probably crush the body.
