Brendan,
How hot were they? Enough that if you touched
them you might burn your finger? I mounted two 4 inch
fans directly above my motors to blow down on them.
After an hour of battle the motors are very warm but
not burning hot. As for the dust problem. Duct tape
man. The universal fix all.

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?
