This alloy rear heat sink is an accessory for the Kyosho Mini-Z Overland rear motor arrangement, designed to reduce heat concentration on the motor can during repeated or high-rev use. The design increases exposed metal area to aid passive heat dispersion without adding active cooling.
Fitment is specific to the Mini-Z Overland series; check the rear motor mount and motor can clearance visually before purchase. Installation normally involves removing the existing cover or shroud and seating the sink against the motor can so it does not touch gears or suspension components. Use your kit fasteners and recheck wiring and gear clearance after final fitment.
Consider this part a thermal-management addition rather than a performance upgrade. By helping to stabilise motor temperature through short runs it supports consistent throttle feel and can reduce occurrences of thermal protection kicking in on sensitive electronics.
