What heat sink to use on Neu?
 

Hey guys I have a Neu 1515/2.5d with a smooth can and will be using it in a truggy for racing. I would like to put a heat sink on it to try and keep things as cool as possible. What would you recommend? Does Mike make one for this?

anybody?

The only thing I've seen are those heatsink/mounts on ImpaktRC. IIRC, there was somewhere else that had heatsinks for Neus but I can't remember exactly where it was.

Thanks Brian, if you come across the other heatsinks let me know please

That sounds a bit rude... :whistle:

Anyway- where's my cookie?

They seem to have changed the design a little bit since the last time I looked, but it will fit any 15** motor, might just have to trim the length accordingly.

Cool thanks Neil I likes!

I vote none.
Shouldn't need one, mostly dead weight, and may be insulating if its not machined really tight. Trapped air pockets will hold warm air like a coat.

I would generally agree, but I guess it depends how extreme the setup is- thermal grease should solve any heat transfer issues though I would have thought.

Not really that extreme, CEN truggy on 5s with mmm, 1515/2.5d geared 46/15. I don't know that I need the extra cooling I just wanted to have all the bases covered before my first race with it coming up and unfortunately due to the weather around here I doubt that I will be able to test it on anything resembling a track. If you guys think its a waste then I wont even worry about it. What do you think?

On 5s you should be able to easily gear it to destroy the nitros and still stay cool.

Unfortunately its going to be a 1/8 electric race a run what you brung sorta thing, buggies, truggies and MT's so I won't have to worry about nitros I will be on equal playing ground with most others. I assume most others will be running Castle MMM combos a few of the Novaks and maybe in one or two of the new Tekins it guys can get their hands on them.

Most will still gear for about 40 so you should still be ok. On such an efficient motor a heatsink isn't so crucial. Try running without one first, if it gets to hot for your liking then get it.

That is what I will do then, I have a Medusa 70mm and a Fiegao 9XL both with heatsinks so if I have issues with the Neu I can switch to either of those as a backup. Thanks for the tips guys!

Exactly what I've found out. Heck, I'm running an Aftershock, geared for about 47 MPH on 6S with the Castle 2200Kv and it doesn't want to get hot. I really doubt you'll have any problem with your setup. :smile:

Check this out.This will fit all 15 series diameter but you will have to trim the length
