Actually there are some computer cooling systems that you can get cheap that can be configured for use in R/C rigs with a little creativity. Once again any kind of cooling system that requires a power source is kind of counter productive. Heatsinking or conductive without power cooling is the key to keeping the temps down. If you have to add some kind of cooling device that draws power, that in itself creates more heat. There have been many discussions on this matter and some of the most knowledgable guys have logged in on this like BrianG, Lutach, and a few others. "KISS" or keep it simple stupid comes to mind (no offence intended). Try producing better heat sinking, and better airflow through your vehicle.

I have a tcs manifold I just ordered for my boat and changed my mind about using it, I will sell it. Also the tcs system looks great I would use it in a heart beat...I'm not sure what jerry2kone means about a cooling system creating more heat??

Save the money you would spend on the cooling system and spend it on a decent motor and you wont need the cooling system. Liquid cooling on a rc car is purely gimik IMO. Put a fan on the motor if you need to cool it. The liquid cooling system wont do any more than that anyway. From what I remember it on circulates liquid through the front plate that the motor mounts to. Its not like a water jacket on a boat setup that gets fresh cool water though the sysem constantly.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly

That's right the money you spend on a water cooling system can be used to upgrade to a neu...then cooling is not an issue at all. I just put a 40mm 12volt fan on a chinese motor and lowered my temps at least 30deg and the fan was only about 3 bucks to buy off ebay and took 5 minutes to install. You can also cut vents in your body and really get some fresh air moving around and that helps alot too. Air flow rocks!
