Precision aluminium heat sink for Associated RC18T

This RC-scale aluminium alloy motor heat sink is engineered for the Associated RC18T platform and is supplied as 1pc. The 11-fin geometry maximises exposed surface area to aid conductive and convective heat transfer from 18T motor housings during short runs and practice sessions.

CNC-style fin spacing and an aluminium construction provide a balance of light weight and thermal conductivity, making the part suitable as an aftermarket thermal management upgrade for 18T motors commonly used in the RC18T chassis. The unit is intended to provide passive cooling without changes to motor or ESC settings.

Technical fitment note: verify endbell clearance, body shell fit and adjacent component spacing on the RC18T chassis prior to final installation. Ensure the heat sink seats concentric to the motor end to avoid contact with spur or pinion gears. Supplied as 1pc.

Confirm endbell diameter, axial clearance to the body and the location of any retaining fasteners; matching these dimensions ensures correct seating and avoids gear contact.
Added mass on the motor rear is minimal, but ensure secure mounting to prevent runout; inspect for wobble after installation and prior to competitive use.
After fitting, perform a static spin check and short bench run to confirm clearance and stability. Re-check fitting after the first few sessions.
