Howdy. I was hoping to get a recommendation for a single or double cooling fan setup with heat sink for my HW 4985 motor. I’ve seen that the Max 6 combo with this motor is one of the most popular for these trucks, but I’m so far unable to find a 49mm (+/-) heat sink with fan mounts on that god dawged interweb. I hit 215° today on the end plate of the motor, so it mos def needs some help cooling itself and I won’t be repeating any more extended bash sessions until I gear down. It has a 21t pinion in it, and I’m planning to step down to a 19t as soon as it arrives. Funny, most say they don’t really have any heat issues running this combo with 21t, but mine sure does. I am running gens-ace 100c batteries, so maybe that’s contributing. IDK. The batteries were very warm but not hot, and the ESC temp was 115° which seems fine. But any recommendations and links to where this motor cooling setup might be found would be greatly appreciated.
That said…Good God what a freaking beast this thing is! This was probably my 6th or 7th outing with it and I’m still just blown away. Coming from 1/10 3s SCT’s this is a HUGE jump! I wish I would have bought one of these things a long time ago. I’ve probably got upwards of $900.00 in one of my 2wd Slash trucks and now that just sounds outright stupid. (But that particular truck is actually pretty groovy, and it’s still a lot of fun.). Any-who, please let me know what y’all are doing to cool these motors. Thanks!
