I wonder if Castle would customize one for you with fins instead of tubes?

Personally, any exostic cooling method just increases weight and things to go wrong...

I personally am not worried about weight. It will weigh 32.8lbs loaded w/o the esc, tank, small radiator, pump etc... As long as it stays under 35lbs im fine with it.

That gives me an idea. Im going to e-mail castle and ask them if they'd be able to make a heatsink for it. Good thinking Brian!
