water-cooled!
im reading rccaraction mag, and i see this electric on road car. i read it is water cooled brushless setup. it looks soo cool. like having a radiator. has a micro waterpump that runs on its own battery. and the brakes are machanical, the esc wires y-off to the brake servo, so it still uses a 2 channel setup.
this baby goes 0-to top speed off 42mph in 2.2seconds!!!! thats about 100 feet in 2 seconds!
they ran it in 96 degree weather for 9 minutes of top speed runs(with no holes in the body) and the motor and speed controler were only 129 degrees.
any down sides? oh, it costs $895!
you can read more about it on the rccaraction web site, just type in water cooled in their search engine

RE: water-cooled!

You could built your own cooling system for way cheaper. Only thing you would need to find is the pump, but it has been done before.

I agree, you could prob run the pump off the motor itself, gear it for speed (pump) and make it do it's job that way, sounds interesting, but $895 for a water coller, IDK, sounds a bit expensive[>:]

I've seen waterpumps for rc boats at online shops. Most likely termed as a bilage pump.
As for manual brakes, you can can run an adjustable v-tail mixer and a Y harness to keep you throttle signal unaltered,
