Author: Keher Neote (kehern15@yahoo.com) I have a very similar item, the only difference is that my heatsink is blue, not red. Besides that, it is the exact same product.
This product is just amazing, the heatsink keeps the motor nice and cool. Once when I was running my stock plastic "heatsink" I smelled something burning, I then found out that it was actually the heatsink, my Kyosho X-Speed motor had caused the the motor cover to melt slightly. I then promptly bought a alloy heatsink, now my X-Speed stays much cooler.
One word of caution, after you have ran your Monster for a while, be careful not to touch the heatsink, it may be hot. The heat is "traveling" from the motor to the heatsink, as it is supposed to. In turn the heatsink is being cooled by the surrrounding air, which then helps cool the motor. I highly recomend this alloy motor cover, expecially if you are running a modified motor.
