    One last thing. Are you guys cooling the fets too or just the buss bars?

        Terry it is a mess unless you are set up right, I'm not. Actually, the thermally conductive epoxy may work even better as its thermal conductivity value is close to (or better than?) solder....and no risk of melting anything. Regardless, the epoxy works for me.

        The FETs don't need direct cooling - remember the Schultze 40-160? Only the buss bars (copper) were cooled. Not that it wouldn't help, but why if it works without the extra complexity?

          I have an idea in my head that includes brass plates and some soldering. Soldering tube the the buss blocks sounds risky.
          I am sure brass would likely work but keep in mind aluminum and especially copper have a much higher thermal conductivity factor.

            Hey guys, what's the OD of the copper tubing are you using please? Thanks.

              Here is a Hydra Ice 240 that I took out of the stock clam shell cooling set up and converted to a more efficient set up. Next time I am going to try copper from K&S. I am really happy with out this one turned out. Soldering the brass components wasn't as tough as I expected.

                2 of the speedo I bought already died. The one I dissembled got 3 runs on it maybe. The second was raced in Atlanta on a conservative setup. Took it out of the boat to work on the boat. Put back in the boat..............no sign of life.

                Sucks.

                    You have no idea.

                    You should have seen the MGM melt down in Phoenix. Glorious.

                          What motor was that MGM connected to.
                          I have heard that they don't play nice with some motors.

                              MGM and Nue motors can be problematic, I used a 28026 MGM and a NUE 1527 and I had bad problems, luckily the motor and the esc are both fine
