I don't have a CIMulator in front of me, but judging from the attached photos a few posts up, this gearbox doesn't appear to have any holes or pockets to allow airflow into the motor vents. It seems odd that this feature would be omitted/forgotton on the CIMulator, as the P60 gearbox I have on my desk has two pockets on either side of the center motor boss to allow air to enter the motor vents from the side of the gearbox.
