Neo Vintage Racing Motor Cooling Plate

More from well known RC designer Michael Vollmer and Patrick Morliere project Neo Vintage Racing comes this Cooling Plate for enhanced motor performance. Engineered to tackle overheating head-on, this cooling plate is a game-changer for both stock and modified buggy racing. Crafted with precision, its slotted plate design, coupled with strategically placed air channels, facilitates optimal airflow, ensuring your motor stays cool even during the most intense races. Eliminating motor fade and magnet damage, this cooling plate ensures uninterrupted power until the finish line. The red-anodised aluminium plate doubles as a distance plate, resolving common issues with modern brushless motors, particularly in Kyosho cars like Lazer, Mid Optima, Optima, and Ultima. By creating a safe distance between the motor plate and gearbox, it simplifies wiring and eliminates concerns of soldering tabs interfering with gearbox components.
