Custom (very) Quark esc heatsink...

[zeropointbug]

Well i got the Arctic Silver adhesive in today, and went to my machinist, but he doesn't stock copper... bummer. So i am using aluminum instead, should work great still, might run a few degrees warmer though.

I'll post some more pics when I get the piece cut, and pasted on.

Here is the results. Let me tell you, it was a tight fit! I should have lapped down the thickness of the alum. pad a little bit, the case ends were tight fit to go it, and the programming button was tight into the button pad (you might be able to see it in the pic. But i did a quick test running it on the table, the Quark gets a little very quickly unlike before where it took a while.... then I popped it onto the big heatsink and instantly was chilled back down to room temp.

I have a feeling this setup will work beautifully! ;)

Stay tuned, I am going to tap the copper heatspreader on the heatsink and use 3mm screws with the CF plate to secure the Quark down with pressure.
