You may be able to get by with an expansion tank half full of water and coolant. You could use the blow out rubber seal's used in pressure cookers. It won't allow continued operation, but at least it will blow before the radiator or exp tank blows up in your face.
Yeah, I thought of that too. Plus I may be able to come up with an adjustable relief valve.

Superheat: A fella named Brian Skinner, who now happens to be the editor of RC Car Magazine, converted a T-Maxx to four-stroke power and also built a water cooling system. He made a radiator and used an old Perfect brand metal fuel tank as the coolant reservior. He did this a few years ago. If you get a copy of RC Car magazine and get the e-mail contacts, write a letter to Brian. He goes by the nickname "Skinny" in the magazine.
Thanks for the tip, I'll see what info I can come up with on that. I figure there have probably been plenty of applications like this, but most are not likely to be publicized anywhere.

There have been lots of four stroke converted Maxx's but only the one watercooled that I am aware of.
