It's been done though.

Ryu- Maybe you can do a watercooling setup for the hydra? I mean... you do have all that extra chassis space...


Get me back into RC!

They also say not to run the MM past 3s

There are people successfully running Hydras in cars and trucks, the biggest issue is heat dissipation but if you're running a 240 amp ESC and drawing half that you should be able to get some decent run time out of it before letting it cool. If you feel like voiding the warranty even further you could modify the ESC to take heatsinks, but you would probably need some kind of thin heatpipe cooler in this application.


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
