Chassis thoughts... vertical, or horizontal batts

Thanks!

I do have the heatsink on the bottom. The heatsink is a 1/8" thick piece of angle aluminum with extra heatsinks epoxied on top. This allowed me to mount it the ESC on its side to save some room. The pic below is a little different than it is now (the top HS are different and larger), but you get the idea...



Smertzhog (I hope I spelled that right) did a mod where he attached super large heatsinks all over it. Jhautz machined the heatsink found here in the store. Maybe one or two others have done some type of mod, but I can't remember off hand.

Wow, cool, it only makes sense making the heatsink come the sides of the esc. I can't however, as much as i would like to, oh well, im sure it will never thermal, as hard as i would push the system. Not that i would push it that hard anyways, but like you said, it's just a good feeling knowing nothing will ever happen. Plus i bought the 540C 7xl, so the motor HS should add more peace of mind too. My truck will weight 9 lbs now, and 7.5 lbs with 1/8 tires on it. :017:
