Hpi makes a parts tree that has one, an oil-cooler, and a intercooler.

Exclamation seldmade radiator!

This is my selfmade radiator:



The "core" is a 6mm thick DEPRON plate (for weight saving), which is shielded with 2 layers of fine iron grid, and 1mm and 2mm thick ABS plastic. The fan consists out of a small motor from an old servo. The blades and the cage is made from brass. (soldered!)






The water pipes are missing, because they are still in production!

And, YES, the fan is working!



nice greetings from Austria

That's some awsome work.

I thought that rifle was familiar, and then I saw you were from austria. The austrians I served with in the golan heights had those.

Exclamation

Now with water pipes:







@firepower: Yes, the Steyr AUG A3 (also known as STG77) is made from brass ans ABS plastic. Of course, it will be painted in olive green. I built this gun, because I used it when im on military duty in Austria. But the firepower of the STG77 is nothing, compared to the Austrian`s MG74 (also known as MG42 or Hitler's buzz saw)! Who has ever used it, knows what I mean.

It works, of course. I also would use a fan, like the ones used on the ESC's.

obsession4x4,

would be pretty sweet if you can some how make a water sealed box around a motor and make the outside like an engine. You would need a rear main seal so the shaft could spin, and hold water but still. Electric motors run great underwater. FYI they are even broke in that way.

They dont run "great" under water. They loose power while under water thats not great..

And yes you can break in a motor in using water the point of breaking in a motor is to speed up the wear in on the brush's and the comm. So if you ran in water all the time it would wear things out in a hurry not mention bearings would not last long.. :?

thats a front mount intercooler for a turbo car, but fair enough I guess it could do the job.
