I just got a limitless v2 with 1100 castle motor and my heatsink that was on my 1717 doesn't fit the 1100 motor is way bigger... Any recommendations on heatsin/ fan mount so I can install fan properly
Limitless Motor heartsick for fan

What's the diameter of that motor?
Perhaps something like this ,maybe?
I would more than likely need to customize it to what you have..
(and probably only a Dual Fan setup because of the height may not fit under the Limitless body..)

Motor cans that have built-in fins like these Castle motors you ideally do not want to run a heat sink over it.
You would only want to build out a fan setup to blow air over the can (like what Tex is showing above)

Ok, I have enough room to just mount them on the chassis a few mm away from the motor

That is how I do it with a 90-degree bracket. I like to keep things simple.

A double "Fan Mount" is advisable. Don't bother using any Heatsink.
2 fans blowing directly at the Motor is better. Cool downs are quicker. Because Less thermal Heat Soak results. A heatsink just creates more Heat soaking. Adding more mass to cool down. Motor remains hotter, and for longer, as a result.
And the Motor is already an Alloy and a Heatsink by design. Whether it's Finned/Extruded, or not.

Get one if you don't have one already. A must have inexpensive RC tool.

@Jester194 are you bashing this RC or single-speed run passes?
I have a single high-rpm fan that runs on 3s and it keeps everything cool enough, but that is for a single speed run versus bashing would benefit from additional fans like @SrC mentioned above.

Probably bashing for a bit... I have a single fan now that moves a lot of air but not quite enough
