I'm going to keep the 330uf 35v caps for the board like GriffunRU suggested, would have gone with bigger caps or doubled up a 220uf for each leg but I think it would restrict the air flow too much. The 3-330uf caps are going to get mounted parallel with the center-line of the board horizontally, that will let the air flow straight from the front fan (blowing in) thru the heat sinks and straight into the back fan (pulling out). I am going to run 4 1800uf caps in parallel for the power supply of the board on the opposite side of the chassis- more for balance than actual function as GruffenRU thought 1 would be enough.

I have reconsidered only using thermal grease and no adhesive as I am concerned movement in the sink/board/sink/board pack might slowly displace the grease. So I'm going to go ahead and put adhesive on 1/2 of the outboard fet's to keep a good mechanical bond between the board and sinks. like Griffen did on the bottom plate style sink on his modded MM.

The total forcast cost of the esc mod (not including the $11 solder sucker i bought for this project) is $54 save the wire and deans connectors.

MM esc/5700kv combo $130 (used ebay)
XXXT roller $67 (used ebay)
Maxamps 8000hv 2s2p batt $147 (new)
CC Bec $24 (new)
Z9100S jr servo $114 (new)
Esc mod parts $54
Wire and connectors $57 +/-

Total cost to spank the neighbors PRICELESS hahaha ($600)

not bad considering almost half that is the battery and servo.

If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it... Last edited by DrKnow65; 10.24.2007 at 03:06 PM.
