Not having one of the new PCB unit yet I wasn't aware of the heat they give off. I might build a bulkhead behind the gearboxes & see how grannys tights do with the heat managementjarndice wrote:RT Your plan to fit the Turret and body onto a Metal Hull could produce a problem that you will have caused by solving another problem,
Some Heng Long RX18 control boards have a ducted fan fitted to keep them running cool,
Can you imagine how much heat would build up in a fully enclosed metal Hull where the only source of cool air (The engine louvre's) was blocked by your grandmothers tights
The only place where there needs to be real protection from the grit and dust is the Gearboxes,
That is as long as you keep away from the Beach and sandpits,
Afterall whenever you change the Battery you will be able to clean the inside of the Hull at the same time,
By the way the Wheels and transmission do not react well to long grass either.
It is an easy job to make and fit a Bulkhead between the gearboxes and the rest of the Hull,
Just type bulkhead into the search box on the top right of this page to find out how.

If nothing else, the bulkheads will help keeping water out;or in?
