Cooling the Traxxas EVX-2 16.8 V ESC
Here's something new for you. I have a Traxxas EVX-2 Waterproof 16.8 V. ESC w/BEC along with two Titan 550 motors, all new, that I want to use in the 36" Dumas Chris-Craft Commander Express Cruiser I'm building. My concern is heat! Since this is not the Marine version I would like to give it additional cooling since it will be "cooped up" in the hull of the boat. Any "ideas" or "suggestions" on how I might do this?
BTW, I did ask about removing the existing cooling fins and putting the after market water cooling kit on it and was told "it is not recommended".
Thanks in advance.

Since you are running it in a boat, just water cool it. Set up an intact aft of your probs and loop around the heat sink on the speed control.
