RCM Heatsink/Motorclamp
What is it?
This is the Heatsink/Motorclamp from RC-Monster.com. It's machined from a single piece of aluminium and has a raw finish. It fits all motors with a diameter of 36mm, but has been designed with the Feigao Nemesis motors in mind. It's available in different sizes (lenghts) to match the L and S motors, and an XL version will be available in the near future. The clamp comes with all the needed hardware for installation. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...xx/clamplg.gif What does it? The main purpose of this product is to secure the endbell on glued brushless motors, such as the Feigao Nemesis, or BK Wanderer. A loose or popped endbell could be fatal for your motor. And this clamp does a perfect job in preventing this. I don't see how the endbell could pop if you have it installed. Another function of this clamp is to work as a heatsink. It does a good job at carrying off heat and significantly lowers the motor temps. It's a good thing to have, even on motors with screwed-on endbells. An additional benefit it the posssibility to mount a fan directly on the heatsink, because 2mm screws fit just nicely between the fins. Giving you a convenient fan mount. What do I really think? The RC-Monster Motorclamp does what it should, and has a reasonable price. It has a smart design, to fit many application. Its raw aluminim finish gives a shiny look, and the RC-Moster logo is a nice touch. It has some sharp edges, and if you look closely at it, you see the traces from the mill bit. But this is a minor point, and if you like you can cure this with some scotch-brite or fine sand-paper. Here's a pic of the clamp mounted on my Revo. Note, this is a S sink mounted on an L motor (only size available at the time when I ordered) and the black finish is self made. There will be a blue anodized version available soon. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...evoxxV1008.jpg And here's a pic of the clamp installed on my TwinForce. Even in this tight spot, the clamp fits perfectly: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...xSept05007.jpg Of course, you can get this nice gadget from www.rc-monster.com THE place for Brushless!

It seems like a commerical. A good I might add. You should post this in another forum. May get better business daf. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.
|
No commercial at all, just a review. Totally unbiased :)
Yep, I'll post this on every forum that allows me, and I also have a german version for euro forums. Expect some more reviews from me. |
I don't blame you though. It is a real nice product. I wish Mike had the xl version in blue. I would like to get me one. You the man.
|
Mike told me this review keeps him motivated to do the XL version and some blue batches. Gotta keep this lad on his toes, right?!
|
I'd love to get my hands on the XL version. Hey guys, could one of you do a tutorial on mounting and wiring cooling fans to both motor mount and controler?
