Just got my Kraton a few days ago and I can already tell the motor temp might be an issue. Any suggestions for cooling this sucker off? I was able to find nice fin/fan solutions for the 550 sized motors but I'm new to the larger size motor that comes with the Kraton 6s so I'm not even sure what to search for...
 
I use this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Powerhobby-Aluminum-Heat-Turbo-Speed/dp/B07ZPMTZX7

Similar to the yeah racing one, just a bit cheaper.

I replaced the fans with 2 of these:

I used 2mm versions of these to raise the fans a bit for better air flow:

I had to egg out the holes on the bottoms of the fans though as the walls of the fans are thicker than the plastic ones and wouldn't let me put the screws in.

I used this to make screens for the fans:

Nice! Very mad max looking too! LOL!
I deleted my FB account almost 2 years ago, that is a den of thieves in a pretty dress promising all the honey but providing nothing but vinegar... I got my ID stolen thanks to FB and lost all my savings...FB is so shady it keeps us cool during the summer so we attempt to ignore how it syphons our lives off in small snippets...rant concluded :p
 
This is just some nylon string, but it has been holding for months. As you can tell, I'm more about function than about looks with my RCs.

I 3D printed this simple dual 40mm mount for my Arrma 2050kv motor.

If I had a 3d printer (trying to find a "cheap" but decent one atm) I'd print a tunnel and put the micro ducted fan with a potentiometer at one end to force air across the esc and motor...so need a printer!
