The new TCS "ESC Cooling Plate" - Replaces the heatsink and fan.

This is the latest TCS. Its just been released and is for Brushless.

The results are amazing and enable you to run, within reason, as much power as you want without any reliability issue or thermal cut-out.

Please see Graphs attached for telemetry data :-

The track and gearing were really hard on the car. With a standard brushless system, it went into thermal cut-out at 5min 20secs. With the TCS fitted the temperatures were lowered dramatically (see graphs) and a faster motor wind could have then beeen used.
