Worlds biggest ESC heatsink! LOL There was always something that annoyed me about the Tamiya ESC, and thats the fact that it has no heatsink other than what seems to be a small piece of stamped steel. After spotting this heatsink in an old computer I was about to trash I came up with the idea to mate the two. A little heatsink compound and silicone glue to hold it in place and we've got what you see here, a large very effective heatsink. The steel piece on the ESC used to get hot enough that you couldn't hold your finger on it for more than a second, however with the heatsink in place it's usually just warm to the touch.
