The reason they aren't aircooled base is that they want reliable motors that don't leak oil all over the track and are relatively inexpensive. They run in the rain a lot, and oil and water just don't mix. I based my conversion on the idea of these, but with an all steel stock body. Looks like a bug, drives like a demon!
