OMG, you used the F word! :036: lol. No, no fans for me. I hate them (as you seem to know).

Well, it's hot compared to everything else I've run, which is 140*F at the absolute worst, and I hate electronics getting too hot. It's amazing how much the specs of the FETs are derated when the temps get that high. A 100A ESC turns into a 40A ESC.

I've been running like this simply because I'm waiting for your drop-in CRT.5 mount (hint, hint ;)). Hopefully whatever you make will allow me to still use the battery tray I spent hours making! :) I still think it would be relatively easy for someone with a mill to make a diff adaptor "cap" (in place of the stock spur) that bolts to a hollowed out Kyosho spur. This spur would slide over the diff cup. But I'll leave the designing to you.

Not that I'm trying to rush you, but if the custom mount looks like it may be a few weeks away, let me know via PM and I'll probably look at using the 20T pinion.
