CC/Neu heatsink?

[nitrostarter]

Keep in mind that you ARE running 50,000 rpms in a MT...

Honestly, I say drop a tooth or 2 on the pinion, or drop the voltage.... Or get a lower kv motor.

170dF (175, to be el-perfecto) is the maximum safe temp for Novak HV motors, I remember from the dark ages when I ran those. Nah- for Neu/CC motors, 200dF is your safety ceiling. Always good to keep it under that, of course. And you've got plenty of wise advice from us here- your temps are great just the way you have it right now, exceptional in fact.

You could custom make a mounted side heatsink, that attaches with screws, and then goes up into a heatsink... should drop temps a far amount, maybe 10-15F?

Check Kershaw Designs, IIRC, he had something like what I'm talking about.

Zeropointbug, got a link? I don't really have the equiptment to make a custom one, could I dremel the inside of the losi heatsink I posted above so it fits?

[zeropointbug]

Sorry, I guess he doesn't make them anymore...

No, you can not use that on the CC Neu motor as it would increase your temps actually. It wouldn't fit around the Neu heatsink can anyways.

Thanks for the input guys. I talked to Joe Ford and he said " 200f max. 165f is PERFECT" so I'm going to stay with my setup and maybe get some Hyperion G3 2s lipos for it, does anyone know where I can buy some with pre soldered TRX plugs? Either way it will smoke the nitros
