cooler SB hybrid motor

[ViperKid]

How can i cool down the SB motor with out the metal heatsink? After a few minutes it is too hot to touch. i have 6 cells and there is no place for those metal fins sticking up.

btw, this thing flies. it is more controlable and maybe even faster than a mini-z with an x-speed. i can do 30ft drift all day long. thanks for your help

one more thing...never try to get the brass pinion off with a cutting torch, just a little piece of advice

cant help ya with the cooling prob, but
can you post a pic of your sb hybrid because i have a few sb motors but i dont know if there the right ones to mod with,

i dont know if there are even any diff kinds.

sure, it may be a day or two before i get my camera back though

it's a spinbrush pro with the xmod endbell and a big pinion gear

go to a computer store and get some thermal grease artic silver 5 is good stuff it will help cool it faster

arctic silver 5 cannot cool your motor alone. you have to put a small dab on the motor then put the heatsink over it. it's a heat transfer medium since metal to metal contact is not perfect, arctic silver and any other thermal compound is used to fill in these gaps to facilitate heat transfer. i don't think compusa sells teh good arctic silver stuff, just some typical thermal compound. people also found out that compusa's brand silver compound has no silver in it lol. the stuff at radio shack is plain thermal compound and should work fine. but again, you still need a metal heatsink in order to use this thermal compound.

thats what i said... or atleast i think it was meant that way

so..i can dremel the fins off the metel heatsink and used the thermal grease? i just i can manage that.

btw procyonlator i still haven't got my camera yet but here is a pic of the motor (it's the one on the far right)

this is sokalxballa's picture not mine

I've seen a few people cut up computer RAM heatsinks to use on their motors with success.

You could always make a roofscoop or something as well.

yeah, you could cut the fins off if you can't fit your 6 cells in. not like there's much airflow inside the body to make the fins matter anyway

that looks just like one of mine.........cool....
