I'm curious as to how some of you cool your motors.
I'm using a custom motor based off a highly modified mag motor s28-400, and overvolting it.
It already has a large heatsink that sticks out into the airstream, but my main issue is after I stop moving, and the heat soak saturates the motor...the entire motor gets nearly too hot to touch.
Some of the ideas I've had so far would be a radiator off a motorcycle, an AC blower fan and scoop, and my personal favorite, a blast of CO2 sprayed onto the heatsink, and possibly motor case when I'm done riding, to essentially freeze the heatsink over.
I dont really know how well any of these ideas would work, which is why I come to you guys. I have a good imagination, but a bad understanding of thermodynamics. What have you done to cool your motor,or controller or even batteries for that matter?
