Manage Heat for Consistent Engine Running

The Tamiya FS-12FD Aluminum Heat Sink Head, model number 41083, is a useful upgrade to help control temperatures in FS-12FD nitro engines. The aluminium construction is aimed at moving heat away from the combustion area to aid stable operation.

Compatibility Notes and Installation Guide

This heat sink head is compatible with Tamiya units such as TNS-B (ITEM43529) and XBG AMG 2006 (TNS-FD Engine Use). Installation is intended to be simple so you can replace the stock head without extensive setup changes.

Why It Matters for Hobbyists

By improving heat dispersion, the FS-12FD Aluminum Heat Sink Head reduces the chance of overheating and can help maintain engine condition over time. It is suited to longer runs where thermal control is important.

Will fitting this head change tuning requirements?

Fitting the head should not force different needle settings in most cases, but re-checking your fuel and idle settings after installation is good practice to ensure optimal running.

Can I use this head on a restored or older engine?

Yes, it can be used on older FS-12FD engines provided the mounting surfaces are in good condition. Inspect the engine for wear before fitting to ensure a proper seal and fit.

How do I spot if the head is not working properly?

Signs include unusually high running temperatures, frequent overheating, or loose mounting bolts. Regular inspection of the fins and secure fastenings will help detect issues early.
