Havoc heat sink Mod. - 12.14.2009, 01:25 PM

Yea I know this shot my warranty in the Butt But my Havoc spec. esc just wouldn't fit under my 1/12th scale GT body. After asking Novak if they made a shorter heat sink and they do not. Although they did responded very quickly So being the hobbyist that I am I took it upon myself and removed the sink and inverted my handy belt sander while holding the heat sink with a pair of slip jaw pliers ground off a little over half of the fins on the sink. After grinding off the fins I took the sink to the buffing wheel and polished it up. Looks great and now fit's under the body I also removed the receiver plug from the wire and soldiered the wire on to the bottom of the pc board.
