CC how about a custom MMM case? - 07.15.2008, 10:02 AM

one that can be bolted to the chassis with shock mounts or something.
tape is not the hot set up.

i would pay extra :-) maybe fancy color choises LOL

or a sideways mount so dirt wouldnt fall into the fan as much.

water cooling would be nice too.

i drilled and tapped my chassis. then taped the mmm to a piece of carbon fibre. bolted the carbon to the chassis and then ran a wire tie around it all so when the tape gives up the ghost i can finish the race.
Plus i can unscrew
it for cleaning.

so a case with ears and rubber gromets woud be hot.

How about a dye-able case (white?) with mounting ears and rubber grommets...

Pink ESC... hmmm the possibilities...

Anyway, mounting ears are a good idea. I only have about 8K cases made at this point -- we'll look at modding the mold.

No guarantees -- but we'll look at it.

This is basically what I asked for on the other thread regarding a special edition. I just want a more secure way to mount the ESC. It would be nice to be able to screw the case directly to the chassis or ESC mount instead of relying on tap and zip ties.

lol, I guess. Something like the type of milky white stuff RPM uses in their dye-able plastic/nylon.

dont waste your 8K cases already made. just make options like xray does:-)

liquid cooling would be more durable? no? no mechanical moving parts. fluid moves by convection from a radiator to the heat sink? could cool motor also. cost maybe 100 bucks more? when do i send you money:-) im realy bored today...... ( AND THANKS FOR REPLYS!)

Liquid cooling less moving parts? Convection would not move enough heat... You would need a reservoir, radiator and pump... More stuff to break....

You could use heat pipes to a larger heat sink but more to break IMO.

Just need a different case design with different mounting options - Missionary etc

IMO the only reason you would want different colors for your ESC is if it was a shelf queen.......a radiator for an rc? sounds like the supercharger that they came out for nitros.....sounds like scam potential.....lol

Ok, while we're at it, how about a heatsink that's just a slab of aluminum with screw taps in it? Then, we can add any heatsink, heatpipe, liquid nitrogen setup we want.

Hey - come on - anything is possible.

Only things I am waiting on before I get back into nitro is electronic ignition, variable valve timing, 4-stroke engine, with self-tuning on board processor. I'd add direct injection fuel system but I dont want to push it too far.
