I might toss it on ebay in the electric boat section. Anyway the gayest one I ever saw was the finedesign version...the pump is HUGE and looks like something hacked off the back of a fishtank and the radiator is one of those old brass fuel cells from the 1950's ...lol then it uses a brass tube coil for the motor (barely any contact) and comes with a seperate 1s battery pack to run it all. Heavy ugly and loud! They claim a 40-50deg drop in temps....my single fan does almost that good 30-35deg.

I wouldnt run it as a normal setup, just seeing what difference it can make to a hot running feifao type motor- My setup is gonna cost about $35-40, which is cheap compared to the TCS setup, but the TCS is uber cool looking yeah- just those little pumps cost about $80- mine is about the size of a 380 S can motor, so I can mount it up without much hassle- the reservoir/radiator will go where a second motor normally does on the 3906 tranny, and the pump will be located somewhere safe- all conected with silicon hose and ran from a 9v battery.
The FD setups are laughable yeah- no doubt they make good boats, but their car/truck conversions are very poor compared to even kershawdesigns stuff. Let me know if you put the TCS manifold up for sale, or better still, where did you get it from by itself, as the TCS website doesnt sell it on its own. Not sure I need or want it, but its so cool...

Wish I had the know-how to fab up some kind of good liquid cooling system. That would be really neat. Be sure to get some pics post when you do get a liquid cooling system setup.
