hey has anyone got one of those heatsink motor plates. i was thinking about getting them for my cars but for $35 bcuks each i dont really know if they are worth it and how much cooling they accually give.
also i was looking through RC model and i was looking for another set of caron camper plates. but i could only find the plates without spacers. i thought there was a kit with spacers, am i wrong? if so where do i find the spacers because i couldnt find them

what i wanted about the heatsink plate was does it accually help heat. i already have myself some 05 plates, well cut stock ones, but heat is always an issue and i didnt know if a heat sink plate accually helps because not very much air runs accross the pate.
for the camber plate in the picute on rc model doesnt show the spacers so i was a bit concerned.

for the CF plates..if the pics show they are packaged..then they might be behind the plates or instructions..they are seperately packaged inside.

yea i didnt think the plate is worth $35 probably does to little for so much $$.
hey rc which do you like better the carbon camber plate or the aluminum one. i have carbon on my car now but i waswondering if there is any difference besides look and $10 more for the aluminum one

the CF plate looks really nice on the car..but a pain to mount the ball studs and tiny lock-nut...
the aluminum ones are nice...wish I still have mine..
may have to buy another set....
the Jet version is just as good as HPI's aluminum mounts....and cheaper!!! $17.00usd

What do the plates help with? I didn't notice any change in camber during suspension travel due to the flex of the plate.

My son stripped a ballstud out of the rear mount but I suspect it wasn't totally screwed in. I bought his car second hand (built be never run) and the person who built it didn't do that great of a job. Partially my fault since I didn't go over the entire car before the first race. I have now though and found several fixes.

camber plates
hpi camber plates: (not sure about jet)
stock plastic plates = 2 holes
cf plates = 4 holes
al plates = 5 holes
also al plates are tapped so you dont have to deal with a lame nut like on cf parts. tho they are heavier some and much more $$
the cf also hve the advantage that they are a builtin upper deck mod, that is the ones i saw kept the screw head far below the upper deck.
i say open ur wallet, if you can afford al (hpi or jet) then get them, and if not then get cf

jet aluminum mounts have 4 holes and cost $17.00 from rcmodel..
cheaper than HPI's CF mounts. and almost half of HPI's aluminum version.
