No probs rex. The caps extend a bit beyound the 60mm but I didn't add those to the length because you wouldn't be trying to cool those.

[Rex R]

well the caps are not usually big heat producers...but when they go, you don't want them enclosed . if I remember...I'll try and take(and post) some pics of the finished product.

i have made cooling plates for my sv esc, made one from brass shim and another from alum, the brass is 4mm thick, and the alum is 6mm thk, i use the standard cool heat sink one side and the cooling plate the other, and find a temp drop of 10 to 15deg f, some heat transfer paste in between them..

I've got the plates made(used 0.8128mm brass plate(0.032"))...just need the esc to install them onto . I figure the esc ought to arrive by wednesday.

[Rex R]

installed the esc in my classic shovelnose. after 9.5 laps w/ a 640 prop the esc temp was 75F :)

How did you make the aluminum heat sink. I have thought of trying to make a better heat sink of the Hydra 120.

[Rex R]

personally I would use brass or copper and 'simply'* solder the tubes on
*had to use a torch for my plates.

very nice work there Rex.

[Rex R]

thanks. I thought it turned out nice too . I did wonder if I would need a shoehorn to get the packs in and out though...(not quite, but close)
