i have a question im about to but a motor mount/heatsink for an rc18t and i was wondering what is more affective if the lines on the heat sink are running along the motor up and down or left to right here are 2 pictures to show u. the one on the left is golden horizon but intigy also makes one like that and the one on the left is the associated factory and there all the same price.

with the slots running side to side, it will allow what ever air is under the body, to flow through the slots, and it will cool the aluminunm off better, I dont know how much air would flow under the body thgouh, with the slots running up and down, you probally have more total surface area, so you would get more cooling from that, but any air flowing over them wont cool them off as much,

I personally would get the AE one, for the simple reason its probally alot better quality, and will probalyl fit better, it doens't really matter which way the slots run for the size of them, I dont think they are going to be very different,

I am not an expert, but in my opinion the one with more fins (Associated) would be more efficient in cooling the motor.

all right it sounds good i think ill go with the asssociated one thx alot

[bobf24]

more fins doens't necesarily mean less heat, it depends on the size and depth of the fins, its all how much surface area there is, thats the point of adding fins is to add surface area,

but the fins on the associated are alot deeper then the golden horizons and that actual heatsink is a little bit taller on the associated

it wont matter cause it will never get that hot anyways . its a mini

the ae one cools better! i tried them all and used a temp gun to check them! heat wants to rise and by the fins going up and down it will col of faster

i would have to agree with the first guy the gh one would work a lil nicer because or how the air flows it s not going to run up and don.i would go with the gh one.
