Just get a RX plug and splice the positive and neg leads.

Hi Traxxas4fun ,

can you send me a picture of how it looks mounted on yours? I cannot picture how it fits..

I have an EZRUN 6000kv motor in mine and I also have the wheelie bar.. So I am not sure if this will fit?
by the way the EZRun 60A Esc + 6000kv 5.5T brushless motor kit is insane! in this truck..


Thanks!

I have that exact same Integy heatsink/fan. I simply plugged the fan into my rx, into a spare channel slot ("Battery" or whatever). it plugs in just fine, to the + and - pins. Just make sure if it's getting stuck that the shape of the red plug isn't causing it, in which case, shave a little bit of the bumpy side until it fins into the rx slot freely.

how did you get the heatsink and fan to fit on the motor though? That is my concern...

As long as the motor doesn't have that weird finned can, you can clamp the heatsink over the motor, or depending on your motor wires sticking out a certain way, slide the heatsink in from one side. If you clamp it on, it takes a little bit of force, but it works.
