3Racing M03 Heat Sink Review

I picked up a 3Racing heat sink for my mini and installed it this weekend. While it does appear to be of typically good-ish 3Racing construction, the design is fundementally flawed.

The motor plate pushes the motor out 2mm. This throws the gear mesh of your pinion off by 2mm. If you adjust the pinion 2mm further out on the motor shaft, then it's pretty much hanging on by a thread. (just shy of 1mm)

That can't be good. My review: Don't bother.

Any thoughts or input?

Jim
