That could be a perfect cooling set up. It always bugged me that I couldnt get any additional heatsinking on the fets in between the boards. Looks like that angle aluminum should be perfect for pulling the heat out of there. Nice job. I would like to try that, but Im not brave enough to tear mine open yet.:p

After you put the front plate back on, get a some battery shrink wrap and put it arond the boards the long way so the face plate shows on one end and the heatsinks stick out the other. That would help you keep the dirt out and give a more finished look.

Nice Job! Let us know how that runs. I bet you cant even warm it up with that much heat sinking.:018:


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

With the introduction of lipo technology, brushless motors, and bullet proof drive trains the potential for electric vehicles to surpass nitros in all catagories is at our fingertips. Be honest that is most peoples goal, to beat the fastest nitro in town or at the track and do it with a lowly electric. I love telling someone my truck is electric, have them go "Well try and keep up if you can" and then humiliate them.:027:
Right now the biggest limiting factor in the field of brushless 1/8 scale, in my opinion is the lack of a practical speed control that has both good programing and heat diissapation. I'm surprised that the companies who produce them dont make the few simple mechanical alterations it would take to fill the 1/8 scale void. The programing and electrical components are the hard part not the addition of heat sinks and or fans:032: At the same time I love screwing with things and enjoy making improvements so its all good.

I didnt get my shrink wrap in yet so I just used some zips for now. The nice part about this mod is it can be converted back to stock in about 15 minutes incase I need any repairs.
