Same question from me?

[Admin]

hey impreza whare at in canada are you? im lookin for people close to me im in michigan about 20 min from windsor. well im goin right now ta look at some K.I.T. racers and see if the heat sing is diff in any of um so i’ll let you know within the hour

[Admin]

theres 3 heat sinks stock hs-2 black for displaceing heat hs3 and curved hs-5 also thers hs4 alum. and hs-4 blue coded. i picked black becouse black dissplaces heat better.

but isnt aluminium is a better conductor of heat so it draws more away?

[Admin]

but black displaces heat better all that alu. 1 will do is get warm and keep the heat unless air is moveing over it

[Admin]

No you are wrong, black absorbs heat from light. Not from conduction. The alloy heatsink would be the best, but it don’t matter cause the motors hardly dissapate any heat.

but black draws heat to it. all the cans on the rc car eng. are black well on the good engs.

Aluminium heatsink is only an option item like the b3.0, cannot be found in any KIT/BR kit.

You’d want it only for the weight savings.

Really now…?

(digs out the RC box)

Green Machine… green. Orion… shiny chrome. P2k and Trinity D4… golden bronzey finish. Several other Kyoshos in Epic cans… all colours BUT black.

Geez, the last black can that came my way was a Yokomo stocker… yeah, dated 1992.

Whoopee doo! :smiley11:

Haha, save yourself the trouble…

The KITs come *standard* with 3 types of motor covers:-

• standard shiny silver, shape & holes just like BCG’s
• black chrome, shape/weight like standard
• skinny ‘bent’ one, no holes

[/list]

You can go find the last ‘skinny’ one from a KIT instead of cutting. (But I think it only comes in a KIT with a b2.2, so I didn’t buy that one.)

btw: The BCG heatsink steel is actually tough enough to dent your wirecutter pliers (don’t ask!) :smiley9:.
