Tin-Foil HeatSink mod.
K well this is a rather simple mod that reduces weight and cools the motor better then the heatsink.
First take your motor out and take off the heatsink get some tinfoil and wrap it around the whole engine and slide the original yellow motor mount over the tinfoil and install the engine and take off!
Me and many others have tried it and it cools better and it saves weight.
Good Luck!

illogical statement
um.....putting tin foil over it would hold the heat IN, not dissipate it. That's why the heatsink is slotted, to allow the fins to let the heat escape after it's absorbed. What you're doing is essential wrapping a baked potato in tin foil and tossing it in the oven.

that does not matter if it is cooler tp the touch the motor may be burning up insde its better to just stay with the heat sink it does not add 2 much weight and if it does do some weight reduction like some parts that need 4 screws will hold on only 2 little things like that and light weight materials such as carbon fiber
by putting tinfoil on u are greatly decreasing the motors power
and speed

I think the metal heat sink is BS.
I got the stage 2 motor upgrade for my brother and I. I let him have the heat sink!
My car feels hotter to the touch under the car that my brother with the heat sink. His heat sink gets really hot. The metal heat sink is a like wrapping a baked potato also.
