Connecting Cooling Ports

To help with cooling, the Kraken X60 has (2x) #10-32 tapped holes on the side. This allows teams to install up to (2x) pneumatic fittings to assist with cooling motors between matches or while practicing at home for extended periods of time.
Having two cooling ports gives teams the option of plumbing motors together, allowing for a single inlet to push air through multiple motors at once.
The cooling ports provide a pathway into the motor and should be protected when not in use. An unprotected cooling port can allow debris to enter the motor and can cause permanent damage to the motor.
Is cooling required?
No. This is an optional feature that was added for teams practicing at home. Forcing cool air into the motors can reduce the downtime between practice matches. All thermal testing was done without actively cooling the motors.
Remove the (2x) #10-32 bolts located on the side of the Kraken X60 Motor
