Old School Trinity Brush Heatsinks

Post by dinglem »

I did a quick search and a lot of people have asked about these on and off over the past few years, as a result of using brushed motors with Lipo power.

I was actually searching for info on the other larger ones which kind of wedged in the centre of the endbell.

Anyway, i appear to have grabbed quite the heatsink haul (sorry if these are posted in the wrong section...) :?

They also came with these...

Basically they were sourced from the old MG motor workshop when it closed down. MG used to use Epic-based (so Trinity, basically) cans and endbells in the early 90's, and I have quite a number of their motors which came with these lovely purple brush heatsinks as standard.

Later on, they moved over to HPI, with these larger more angled brush heatsinks ajoining the bigger gold-finned HPI endbells.

If you bought an MG Magnum top spec modified at that time, they came as standard 8)

Hello! I'm a new member, but frequent these pages when I'm looking for information. I found your post when I was internet searching for brush heatsinks. Maybe there's still a pair or two left?
