I have an outrunner motor on little 450 heli.
On the bottom are vents that look like they would "scoop" cooling air into the motor but if it was to rotate in that direction, it would be running in the reverse direction that I need it to.
Am I thinking about this backwards or if it was to run the correct way I need it to, will it "draw" air through the motor and exit through the vents?

Thanks

Oops! Nevermind, I was looking at things in reverse somehow. The fact that the out casing rotates kinda threw me off. lol
