Abstract: A model vehicle wing mounting system for a model vehicle including a wing support, a deformable mount, and a pivotal mount is provided. The wing support is rotatively attached to the model vehicle chassis at a first location via the pivotal mount. The wing supported is deformably attached to the model vehicle chassis at a second location via the deformable mount. The wing is fixedly attached to the wing support. The pivotal mount may be a pinned hinge or a flexible hinge. The deformable mount may be an elongated oval configuration or rubber. The wing mounting system provides a measure of shock absorption for the model vehicle wing.

Abstract: A model vehicle is provided including a model vehicle chassis and a model vehicle body. The model vehicle chassis has an electric motor and cooling fins, thermally coupled to the electric motor. In addition, the model vehicle chassis further has an electric fan directed towards the cooling fins. The model vehicle body has an air vent provided in the model vehicle body. When the model vehicle is operating, airflow enters the air vent and across the cooling fins to dissipate heat generated by the electric motor. Additionally, a rear edge of the model vehicle body is located at a height that is higher than a top of the electric motor and wherein the electric fan increases the airflow across the cooling fins to increase the heat dissipation.
