Then the copper shim to the case:




This picture shows how much was milled ouf of the case:


And then I simply used a bead of the Artic Alumina, to put the side of the case back on.


That's all there is to the Quark heat mod.

Now to the truck assembly.
The Losi CVD's replace the stock dogbones in the rear, and all 4 corners get the Sportwerks Axles, allowing 17mm hex's.
The buggy arms along with the pins, screw/ball, and aluminum suspension holder fit in place without any modification.

Mike's motor/diff mount is a direct drop in, and can be used in the motor: right-rear setup like advertised, or if you're running two batteries, it will also mount in a motor: front-left setup (I'm doing the front left)

I found a scrap piece of PCB at work, and used it to connect the center diff mounts, to the steering brace. Any material would work for this, metal, plastic, ect. I used two small plastic spacers on the front of the piece, to keep it ~level.



I found a good sized heatsink from a Pentium 1 processor, and attached it to the quark with Artic Silver (NON EPOXY), and 2 zip ties.
