I use the watercooling setup with my Hydra 240 and Neu 1527 1D and without the working water pump and a home made radiator similar to the picture up top it made my temps to drop from 170 degrees to 98 degrees on a summer day in IL. It works on cooling but not on ESC I beleive due to a rapid rise in heat when the ESC maxes out. It will cool down better than a fan but won't save the setup when the ESC goes up in flames. I was also using a 5volt diaphragm pump. The TCS pumps is a gravity feed and when your trucks rollover it needs to be primed in order for it to work. They are a piece of crap and not worth getting for 70.00. It does work just too much lines and a little weight.
