OK then, bullet holes would work too :^)

BTW, what is it thats producing the heat? the motors or the electronics?

most small hobbie motors have built in blowers. If they dont get fresh air for cooling it defeats the purpose.

If its the electronics, are you sure you really have a problem? If it runs for 2 hours its pretty much heat-soaked to steady state. If its still running at that temp it might be ok.

Most electronics will operate at 95°C without failing (too hot to touch).
