Serum, ah, icic

smhertzog, yes, an integrated heatsink in the motor can would transfer heat much better, it's quite thin, there is probably 4 times more surface area than a smooth can version; PLUS the heatsink IS the can, so its the entire circumference of the can. Im sure it will run up to 20 degrees F cooler than a bare can.

One thing i don't like about the 540C-xxx motors is the mounting screw holes which are two beside each other on each side of the shaft, whereas the smooth can motors have 1 hole every 90 degrees from the next. This doesn't leave to much for mounting options... or maybe i could just make a mount for it and than make the mount adjustable instead? (for changing pinions)
