Re: cimulator cooling modification

To add to the discussion, there are several motors that contain these small fans to assist with motor cooling, the FP for one. It is also important to run the motor at a minimum RPM range to allow the fan to do it's job.
If the case of the motor is running at 115 degrees, you can bet the internal temperature is much higher.
