i'm trying to set up a cooling line for the endbell on my motor. can someone post a few pics of how it's done?? i've got a coil around the can, but the endbell is getting WAY too hot. thanx.

Here is how its done on a closed endbell motor. This is on my Traxxas Villain EX. you soder brass tubes to the actual soder tabs of the motor then conect water lines to the brass tube. Its lind of a pain to get the wire and the brush coolers on there both at the same time but the resulta are great. I run pack after pack with no cooldown and the motrs only get to around 100degF.

my motor is an open end bell, but that helps a little. i may be able to come up with an idea or three from that. thanks. anyone got some pics for an open end bell??? i have a few ideas, and that pic gave me some more, but i'd like to see some other examples.
