Anyone have luck with slotted rotors?

The slots on the rotor are not there to lower rotor temps. This may seem counterintuitive but any type of slot or drilled hole in a rotor will increase temperatures.

This may seem counterintuitive but any type of slot or drilled hole in a rotor will increase temperatures. Remember, the rotor is a heat sink. The more metal available to collect and dissipate heat, the lower the rotor temperature will be.
