thanks for the ideas. nitro is right. there are 4 alu. plates inbetween pc boards and the alum. plates are connected to alu. pipes extending in both directions which are normally used for water cooling. i thought about just removing the shrinkwrap so that a fan can put air around all the aluminum but i am not going to do any mods yet until i try it out. i dont want to void any warranty if i dont need to. Mike has said the the hv 180 has been working fine on the brushless baja he built so i am hoping this works out. if its running too hot then i will look at doing some mods to cool it down. i am thinking with one fan on each the motor and esc i will be able to use gearing to get both temps within the ideal range. i hope so anyway.
