is it possible?

that my revo is running great without the body off? but when i put the body on after a couple run...it begin to be instable? or it just a coincidence?

Unstable as in engine temp?

Its very possible...My Revo was running hot with the new body I put on it until I cut out the place over the engine and also the side windows to introduce better airflow.....Theres little powerplants are spinning upwards on some engines up to 45,000 rpms...That generates alot of heat requiring good airflow to properly cool..I'm leaning towards losing the body for a RD Logics cage ..

I alwAys run a big hole in the windsheild and over the motor I have had heat problems at low speed coin climbs and stuff some one needs to make a head with a fan mount like a brushless controller for crawlers and air restrictive bodies

Unstable as in engine temp?

i mean no more top speed, rough acceleration and not idling at all

Just with the body on? I just had that problem and it was the clutch it broke at second hole so I put one in from a nitro sport it is one hole

What's your engine head temp with the body on vs off after a few runs? As others have suggested, do you have proper ventilation holes in your body for air flow?
