Take a close look at the F/P gearboxes the motors are mounted on to see where the vents are located and sized. That is if you use different gearboxes.
good point keep um cool
-also make sure you press them in to the drive gear on the AM with up most care
-and a bit of grease applied to both motor bushings before you put them in to a gearbox can't hurt
