Sanded the fins and the aluminum tubing for a good thermal transfer bond. Rolled them in the thermal epoxy and now they are nice and tight. I can pick up the whole setup by any of the tubes without worry of bending. Seems that was the right length to keep them from being weak.

I'm so tempted to put a coat of paint on it, but it will only insulate the heat sink and reduce its efficiency.

The plan is to split the water from the dual pickup rudder coming in across all 6 tubes and a separate set for the motors. Since the pickups are 1/4" there should be adequate flow for this many dispersions. If not, I can loop through the ESC with one line per side, but I don't anticipate any flow issues.

don't take it personally, you do have good advice to give when you so choose, but seriously just edit your posts if you forget something the first time around

Anyways to get back on topic, Fighter the cat is looking pretty good thus far and I like those cooling plates Can't wait to see it done

Thanks! I know it's not a world class project, an extreme setup or even competition level, just having a bit of fun in the garage.

So where you at with motors? Any decisions yet?

The heatsinks look awesome. Thermal Mass for the win!

When you drill the hull, cover the drilling areas with masking tape if you are not already doing it . Also makes marking the holes a lot easier with something to draw on.

I find it absolutely exciting working with a freshly painted hull. Delicate and fragile.

Masking tape is an excellent way to help prevent chipping and allow marking. Although the caution is that the tape goo not stick or remove the fresh paint!

I use the blue painters tape and sometimes clear vinyl, but the vinyl does tend to stick pretty well.

OOOHH, I dig the FE blog man. Good idea!

Stick the tape on your pant leg and pull it off before applying to the boat. It removes some of the tack and helps alot.

Say fighter, check these beasts out http://www.leopard-model.com/product...ionID=01020202
I think you can get 2 of these110A 5500 watt beasts for the price of 1 Neu 1527. I like the 1344 kv on 8s... 39,782kv on each side... sounds sick to me...I might have to get into a large cat project myself after seeing these 7 HP monsters!!! LOL

someone priced those big Leopard motors to me at $225 each, and I thought that was kinda high
