I've seen a full sized jet liner converted to remote control (crash testing a new fuel - complete failure if I remember right). On that scale, this is 'small' :P.

Another thought DK... with that much metal around you could probably just weld the motor case to the chassis and use the whole body as a heat sink...

I think I should get all the points - nobody else made a suggestion half as daft as mine!

Alternatively, you may consider that this question hasn't yet been adequately answered and should be deleted with refund, but if the silly sod gave tmcguinness the info he needed I wouldn't have fel the need...

I'd say give solution46 twice the offered points and send a rude message to "AnthonyFee" telling him/her just what he did wrong to post an inherently impossible question (error 1) in the wrong forum (error 2) and then abandon it (error 3), and that he's luck not to be losing the offered points for *each* violation !
:))))))


cheers, DcpKing!
I say just let it drop.  Solution46 and DcpKing have already gotten their money's worth out of the question! :) (no offense, guys... I _liked_ your suggestions) and I sure didn't do anything worth points.
Yeah... one of the more amusing questions I've participated in! Let it be.
