Questions: .....Superior to what? What was used as a comparison? Was this the current HV setups or something else?
Very interested to see some more detailed shots. The 4 bolt design sounds like my RC Product Designs mount as it goes on with 4 bolts.
I like the size of the fan. How durable is it?
Last thing, and its probably a wording thing but I figure I ask to be sure, these conversions, are they compatible with the truggy version of the buggies listed?

Bob Novak: I have not seen your RC Product Designs mount. Let me explain how ours works. The heat sink replaces the center sleeve on the HV motor. There are two screws that clamp the heatsink to the laminations of the motor. This heatsink is common to all the conversion kits. There is a car specific plate that screws to the the bottom of the heatsink with four screws. This assembly is then screwed or bolted (depending on the Buggie) with four screws or bolts thru existing holes in the chassis.
Mounting this assembly to the chassis gives superior heat dissipation compared to mounting the motor at the front. Clamping the heatsink directly to the motor laminations also gives superior heat dissipation over motors that cannot be mounted this way. This heatsink will fit on any of our motors. The fan is also very rugged. These conversions will most likely fit on the Truggies also, but I just have not had time to test them. That will be my next project.
Thanks for the comments.
