What are your opinions on drilling cooling holes onto the motors similiar to what is on some PN and ATM motors? I run a MA010 and the motor gets hot pretty fast. The heatsink motorclip from Atomic doesnt seem to do much since the contact area with the motor is pretty small. I hear that having cooling vents helps a lot though.
I already have a bbcan so I dont want to buy a new one just for cooling holes. How would I go about drilling holes without ruining the can? Im afraid of deforming the can in the process or leaving rough edges on the hole that might interfer with the armature. The Atomic and PN cans seem to have the holes stamped out rather than drilled...
Also, with holes in the motor will stuff get in really easily? I run on a carpet track and hairy fibres frequently get stuck between my wheels and bearings. Will this stuff get sucked into the motor?
