the fan was removed from the motor for 2 reasons. One, to gain a few extra horse power, and 2, because after talking to George at Netgain, he told me that they can explode over 5000 RPM. Since the motor in theory can handle 9000RPM it could turn out bad.

I plan to use an external blower to cool the motor, especially since the internal fan doesn't help much at low RPM.
