$224 or so.

I just learned about a new sensored controller and motor setup called the Genius Brushless setup.

The interesting thing is that the controller's case is made out of aluminum instead of plastic. It has no heatsink, since the whole thing is wraped inside aluminum case. This might explain why Tekin did not use a heatsink in their brushless controllers. Probably the cases are made out of aluminum!!!

This is for 1:10 scale too I presume?

From everything i have seen, it looks like plasticand i seen on another forum that one of the things that that slowed the production was approval of the molds, that makes me think its plastic. This was several months ago

Even if the case is made out of aluminum, there is hardly any surface area to dissapate it.

If you mount the esc on a truck, there's plenty of air circulating around the controller. If you're talking about the 1/10 chassis, I guess you're quite right.

maybe they are electronically cooled like some of their brushed controllers.
i dont know how they electronically cool their escs but that is what they advertise on some of their brushed escs and it works.

Now if the esc was with fins all around, id say it would stay cool.

Hey Andy, you've been abcent for so long. where have you been?

I'm not worried whether the tekin has fins or not. If I'm gonna get it, it's gonna be placed in my touring car.

Hey, if its made like that, it might as well work the way its supposed to. It would be retarted if Tekin made a product which doesnt even stand up to simple tasks.

The only true electronic cooling I know of is the use of peltier junctions. But even those produce heat, which would need to be dissipated with fins or something. Either that, or they are reducing the power when it gets too hot...
