Kraton Do big heat sinks like the ones on the newest Kraton EXB?

[Jluther@becoinc]

I have always removed big heat sinks and added fans. Do they help ? What is some of you guys opinions ? Which is better big heat sinks or no heat sink and some good fans

Smooth can + heatsink and fan = good
Ribbed can + arrma style solid heatsink = bad
Heatsink that fits loose = bad

Heatsinks only work well if they are tight.
Heatsinks over ribbed cans trap heat.
Most efficient is a ribbed can and a big fan, no heatsink.
Best is probably not needing one in the first place, but thats another topic.

My humble opinion is for a big Heatsink.
Simple and just works-
No need for power to function, Doesn't care what orientation it's mounted, no worries for worn out ball bearings, no worries for chipped or broken fan blade(s) or getting them jammed by grass or rocks, doesn't get bother with dirt or mud,
No worries for accidentally sliced wires , No Annoying whining sounds.

Works even better when it gets a little moist/wet..

If you get away with just a heatsink, that means your closer to not needing anything. And thats a good thing!

There is something to be said about keeping it simple and redundant.

I put a Kraton EXB style clamp on heatsink on my Limitless recently & a dual 40mm 3d printed fan mount adapter that I designed in Fusion360. I used cheap plastic fans & they move plenty of air. One fan blows over the end of the can. The motor is a smooth can motor. I could have utilized a clip on dual style, but this was cheaper.

I have a castle 2028 1100kv with a fatass heatsink on it and even though it's ribbed I swear it works amazingly well. That motor stays cool af in my limitless and I'm geared to bash at like 90 - 100 mph on 8s.
