Mamba Max Cooling Options?

[brushlessboy16]

Hello All just as a starting note, i Used the search bar before i posted

From what i have read there are a couple things you "should" do when running the Mamba max over 3s...

1. Disable Internal BEC (DUH)
2. Run a fan
3. Drill holes in the case
4. Sink it to a plate or hunk of aluminum to dissapate heat


I am planning to run 5s on my Mamba Max...Yes i know that it might not arm... But i have talked to a couple people who have run the same style MM on 5s.. but i just want a really effective cooling system. I already have a capacitor Rack with 8 330uF capacitors. I need help deciding what fan to use.

Are there any better alternatives to the Original mamba max Heatsink?


How should i sink the MM to its Aluminum mounting plate? its got a plastic case..


How should the fan be oriented in relation to the heatsink?

Would re-doing the thermal paste that connects the heatsink to the FET's help any?

I know this is kind of an extensive post but i would really apreciate any help
