Barrell, I’ll say it again. They are eye candy. I doubt they cool the motor any more that the regular heatsink. If you realy want a better thermal response put some silicon grease in between the motor and the heatsink (avail at any electronics shop, Jaycar, Dick Smith, etc….). They say that these sinks are more aerodynamic, that’s crap! They are located within the shell of the car and not on the outside so I doubt that there’s any airflow around them at all.

The best suggestion is Panda’s and the % weight issue of the old sinks .vs the new…..
