Re: cimulator cooling modification

We learned this the hard way last year with our custom fisher price gearbox. Over the course of the season we bought 14 fisher prices, at 11 dollars apiece that is 151 dollars wasted. Anyone who has gearboxes with motors that will experience sustained current draw above ~5 amps should definitely be sure the cooling vents are not blocked.
