I dont know about the Sleeper but for the BL you can get a 180 Xray heatsink for it. Or just about any other wrap around heat sink that will fit a 180 motor. Take a look at pic

I disagree. The Mamba has a 300 size can, but maybe alfred was thinking about the motor mount. The mamba can fit a 180 motor mount so he was probably thinking about a 180 heat sink motor mount. About the sleeper, check with the airplane guys if you are talking about the 480. Otherwise, just get a 300 heat sink for the 300 motors.

Nope the Mamba BL can is a 180 size can---not a 300 at all.

The reason being is its brushless, so the innards are not like a brushed motor.

Yeah I already knew that. But it is getting amazing these days, people packing so much power into a small package like with today's Li-Poly batteries and the mamba.

Bishop Power Products carries them. I talked to Castle about my Mini Inferno/Mamba heat problem and he told me that the heat sinks will keep the motor about 25-30 degrees cooler ... he said they start to melt inside at just above 200 degrees .....
