Squee: I did what you said... I got the hybrids from Mike with all the extra stuff. I even got the idler gear. I won't tell you how many all-nighters it took for me to get it all installed. My wife was mad :007: Anyway, Its all working now, but I have not done much testing yet.

For anyone else going brushless, I have one tip: Get all your hop ups at once if you can, and install them all at once so you don't have to strip that E-Maxx down 3 or four times. Its lots of work to get to that idler gear.

By the way, I found that my new front titanium dogbone (thanks Mike) was a few mm too long. I had to use a Dremel to file the rounded ends off each end. I had to file it down to the point where it is flush with the "T" bars at each end of the dog bones. Not sure why. I even had to remove the FLM-supplied rear drive cup that came with the chassis and replace it one that came with my T-Bonz (lightning diffs came with their own drive cups...didn't need the ones from T-Bonz anymore).

Well I see this thread has wandered off topic.:D

The Quark heatsinks are for sale on the RCM site now. Totally worth while upgrade for your quark IMO.

I feel famous. :dft003: I even got a mention.

You are FAMOUS man!!

Wonder what software you used to design it?!

[Nick]

I think I'll get one for my 9920. It looks like it will fit.

What fans did you use? Make/model would be useful.

Any 40mm fan should work. Just about all of them I have seen have a 32mm center to center distance on the mounting holes. If you want to run off the BEC get 5v fans if you want ot run off the packs get 12v fans. Just a matter of preferance. Also, You don't need the reaal thick fans. The 10mm thick ones move plenty of air. Especialy if you use 2 of them.

I used 5v fnas. Got them off ebay. But I think metalman had a link to some that looked nice somewhere in this thread.

Dude that is sweet. You got a pic of it on the motot mount. I was thinking
of something to fit there.

There are pics in the very first post in this tread.

I designed it in solidworks and had the shop at work machine it up for me in one of the cnc mills. Its flat on one side for mounting to the flat back of the quark and has radiator fins and screw holes for mounting (2) 5V 40mm fans. I mounted the quark to it using the termal paste they use for computer chips.

Hope this works....

Heres a few pics.

The mount by itself:




With 2 fans mounted:



Mounted up in my e-revo with the quark:

The last couple was the ones i was talking about. I must have forgot. Doh.

Damnit I just thermal epoxied my heatinks to my quark before these became available. I like the clean look of your design. I'll have to pick one up on my next brushless conversion. Congrats on making it into production!

That kind of stuff always seems to happen to me too! AAARGH!

[Nick]

Does it mount on the STOCK motor mount? I guess the holes are the same as the Gorillas.

Yes. Hole spacing is the same.

Great Job! Good to see this kinda stuff come out!

Jeff, I just got the heatsink you designed, great job! It makes my setup so much neater and more stable. I'm embarrased to think of the rigged up mess it was before!
