Precision heatsink for Mini Inferno speed control

This heatsink is engineered for the Kyosho Mini Inferno speed control footprint to increase exposed surface area and thermal mass on the ESC housing. The compact geometry balances cooling efficiency with limited chassis clearance common to 1/8 scale nitro-electric hybrid setups.

Mounting aligns with the Mini Inferno ESC attachment points and requires no chassis modification when installed correctly. Fitment is achieved by removing the ESC cover or access panel, seating the heatsink over the ESC housing, and securing with existing fasteners to ensure consistent thermal contact.

In tuning applications the component serves as a thermal stabiliser, reducing thermal spikes under repeated short-duration loads. For best results combine the heatsink with appropriate ESC programming, ventilation pathways, and conservative gear choices to keep junction temperatures within safe operating limits.

What thermal benefit does the MIF-020/RE/WO provide?

It increases surface area and thermal mass at the ESC case, which lowers peak temperatures during repeated short runs and helps maintain consistent performance while tuning.

Are there recommended installation checks for optimal contact?

Ensure the heatsink sits flat against the ESC housing, recheck screw torque after initial runs, and verify there is no wiring or component interference that reduces contact quality.

Should I use a thermal interface material?

A thin, appropriate thermal interface pad or paste can improve conduction to the heatsink; select materials compatible with the ESC enclosure and follow the ESC maker's guidance.
