To Heat Sink or Not - A Little Help Please

[teifert2429]

Now i know the term if it has one it is probably important but i figure i will ask anyway. I am working on building one of the intimidator hard bodies as a dedicated comp truck. My plan is to try and tuck all of the electronics in and behind the interior. With this the heat sink will not fit where i plan to put it, so can i remove it. The truck will be running a stock scx10 trans, 1:1 tcase, and OD, UD gears in the axles. The motor will be a crawlmaster 16t, and ESC is the ae-2 with cc bec, pinion and spur have yet to be figured out but i can adjust as needed. Like i said before it will be for only comps so no long time weekend trail runs on this guy just the short run it and rest courses. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Yes of course! just watch the temps.... I highly doubt you will have any problems.... 150-155 degrees is the hottest i would run one! I see you live in Ohio! Me too... To bad I sold my scaler.... Ya dont worry bout it man. You will be fine

Add a fan. Could make it an exhaust (sucker vs blower) with simple ducting/deflectors.
