Airflow mods in the works as well as some better shielding from mud splash. Cores were full of mud yet again from last race. Exhaust wrap around oil pan should lessen engine oil temps as well.

If it's getting mud packed that's for certain the issue. That's the only time I've had temp issues, really.  Mud flap hanging down off the rear of the chassis in front of it? Or do you think it's from the rear tires?
