Technical thermal upgrade for competitive Mini-Z AWD

The 3RACING Kyosho Mini-Z AWD PCB Cover with Heatsink, model AWD-36, is a precision part aimed at reducing PCB hotspot temperatures in race and high-load scenarios. The integrated heatsink improves conduction away from critical components, assisting in reliable output during long runs.

Designed for tuned setups

Manufactured to suit Kyosho Mini-Z AWD configurations, this cover is a practical choice for racers and tuners seeking better thermal headroom. It helps mitigate thermal throttling when running higher power ESCs and motors.

Installation and compatibility notes

The 3RACING PCB Cover with Heatsink mounts to the Mini-Z AWD chassis using standard fixings and does not require chassis modification in typical installations. For setups with custom electronics layouts, check clearance and mounting alignment before fitting.

How does the AWD-36 affect thermal headroom with high current ESCs?

The added heatsink increases thermal dissipation from the PCB area, reducing peak temperatures and extending safe operating times for higher current ESCs.

Should thermal interface material be used between PCB and cover?

Using a thin, electrically non conductive thermal pad or adhesive improves contact and heat transfer, particularly on modified electronics where contact surfaces are uneven.

Any fitment tips for tuning builds?

Verify clearance for custom leads and headers, ensure the cover seats flat to the chassis, and secure all mounting points to maintain consistent thermal contact under vibration.
