You can buy a integy heatsink which has a strip of aluminium attached which points the fan at the endbell to cool.
might pick one up

or for brush motors:
They don't look like they'd take much of an impact though...

One last question: Is it better to have a fan facing the heatsink or the endbell? Or both.
Good feedback, big help.

you are talking about different types of fans, heatsinks...
But think about: Where does there air go in the motor? Where does it leave the motor?
I think, the air goes in at the endbell and leaves the motor at the can. Am I right?
So than you should blow air in the endbell and help them escape from the can...
I think, 2x40mm fan will be the best...
The heatsinks made of alu are not the best. Is there any heatsink of copper?

Yes the GTB fans are a joke, but I think the Novak ones we're talking about ehre are the black plastic ones. Slightly smaller diameter but thicker. They are heaps better than the GTB ones.
The AE one looks the same, but it comes with the Rx connector already fitted. They're nice.
