Havoc heat sink Mod.

[NovakTwo]

George, you are a genius!

This is exactly how we will be altering our existing Havoc HSs to offer low-profile HSs as an accessory for our Havoc 1S and 2S escs. I just saw the prototype last week.

If they are popular, we may do the tooling and have them made in quantity, or even offer a special Havoc 1S esc w/ the LP heat sink. When we had the GTB 4 Cell version esc, (with the cooling plate installed) we soldered the input harness and fan harness to give it a lower profile.

Although they did responded very quickly So being the hobbyist that I am I took it upon myself and removed the sink and inverted my handy belt sander while holding the heat sink with a pair of slip jaw pliers ground off a little over half of the fins on the sink. After grinding off the fins I took the sink to the buffing wheel and polished it up. Looks great and now fit's under the body I also removed the receiver plug from the wire and soldiered the wire on to the bottom of the pc board.
