Re: Motor heat and dust [TANKS]

You might try adding several inverted sections of U-channel to the tops
of your motors for a heat sink, and strips of soft foam, one above, one
below the axles to seal the gaps.

I ran my tank a few days ago.  Everything worked fine until the screw that held the gear to the motor shaft came out.  I checked the inside of the tank and I noticed that the motors were hot.  I have some fans inside but they don't do much.  Should I worry about the heat or should I just leave it alone? 

 

 

 

 

 I have found some dust and dirt coming in from the rear tensioning wheels.  How should I seal this and still be able to adjust it?
