Novak makes one.
Works fantastic, too. I ran mine on a 4.5R in 80°+ temps with track temps over 100°. I had geared my JRXS-R 4-5 teeth over the suggested Losi gearing with a sintered rotor, and it came off all day below 150°. You can add electric fans to those heatsinks if you need to, but I would doubt you would.
The only downside in this car is it is a PAIN to get the motor into the car. You need to essentially remove the entire rear bulkhead to get it in. But at least you won't be pulling it in and out of the car all the time to cut comms or replace brushes or anything.
AFAIK, the timing ring on a Novak brushless is NOT replaceable at all.
