Overview
The FTX Khaos Motor Heatsink & Fan is an essential cooling accessory designed specifically for the FTX Khaos 1/10 brushless 4WD truggy. This high-performance component is engineered to maintain optimal motor temperatures during extended running sessions, ensuring your RC car UK setup remains reliable and performs at its best. Whether you're a dedicated enthusiast enjoying weekend bashing or pushing your brushless RC truggy to its limits, effective motor cooling is critical to longevity and consistent performance.
Motor heatsinks with integrated cooling fans are vital upgrades for any serious RC car owner in the UK. The Khaos Motor Heatsink & Fan works by dissipating excess heat generated by the brushless motor during operation, preventing thermal throttling and potential damage to your electronics. This accessory is particularly valuable if you plan to run your ready to run RC truggy for extended periods or in warm weather conditions, where motor temperatures can rise significantly during high-performance driving.
At just £5.99, this is an affordable yet highly effective way to protect your investment and maintain peak performance. Installation is straightforward for owners of the FTX Khaos, and the benefits of improved cooling directly translate to better speed consistency, longer running times, and extended motor lifespan. If you're serious about getting the most from your 1/10 brushless 4WD RC truggy, this motor heatsink and fan combination is a must-have upgrade.
Key Features
- Integrated Cooling Fan — The built-in fan actively draws air through the heatsink fins to dissipate motor heat, providing superior cooling performance compared to passive heatsinks alone, which is especially beneficial during high-speed driving or competitive use.
- Direct Motor Compatibility — This heatsink and fan assembly is specifically engineered to fit the FTX Khaos brushless motor without modification, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable operation with your existing setup.
- Compact Design — The compact form factor integrates seamlessly with your FTX Khaos 1/10 truggy without interfering with suspension components, body shell fitment, or other mechanical systems.
- Improved Performance Consistency — By maintaining lower motor temperatures, this accessory helps prevent thermal throttling, allowing your brushless motor to deliver consistent power output throughout extended running sessions.
- Extended Motor Life — Regular use of a motor heatsink and fan significantly reduces thermal stress on the brushless motor windings and bearings, extending the service life of your expensive motor components.
- Easy Installation — The heatsink assembly is straightforward to install on the FTX Khaos, making it an accessible upgrade for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels.
Technical Performance
The FTX Khaos Motor Heatsink & Fan is engineered with active cooling technology to address the thermal challenges faced by modern brushless RC truggy motors during high-performance driving. The combination of a finned aluminium heatsink with an integrated electric fan creates a highly effective cooling system that maintains motor temperature within optimal operating ranges. This is particularly important for the FTX Khaos 1/10 brushless 4WD truggy, which features a powerful brushless drivetrain capable of sustained high-performance running. The active fan design provides superior heat dissipation compared to passive cooling solutions, making it the ideal choice for drivers who regularly run their brushless RC cars at competitive speeds or for extended periods. The heatsink's robust construction ensures durability through repeated thermal cycling and vibration typical of off-road RC driving, whilst the integrated fan draws cooling air efficiently without adding unnecessary bulk to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a motor heatsink and why do I need one for my FTX Khaos RC truggy? — A motor heatsink is a cooling device that dissipates excess heat generated by your brushless motor during operation. The FTX Khaos Motor Heatsink & Fan is essential because brushless motors generate considerable heat during high-performance driving, and without proper cooling, this heat can cause thermal throttling (where the motor loses power as a safety measure), reduce lifespan, or cause performance inconsistency. This accessory actively cools your motor using an integrated fan, ensuring peak performance throughout your driving sessions.
- Is this motor heatsink compatible with my FTX Khaos? — Yes, the FTX Khaos Motor Heatsink & Fan (FTX6796) is specifically designed for the FTX Khaos 1/10 brushless 4WD truggy. It is fully compatible with both the FTX5564B (blue) and FTX5564P (purple) versions of the ready to run Khaos RTR with 3S LiPo battery.
- How much difference will a motor heatsink make to my RC car's performance? — The difference is substantial if you regularly run your brushless RC truggy for extended periods or in warm conditions. With active cooling from the integrated fan, you'll experience more consistent power delivery, better speed maintenance throughout longer running sessions, and significantly extended motor lifespan by reducing thermal stress on the windings and bearings.
- Is installation difficult? — No, the FTX Khaos Motor Heatsink & Fan is designed for straightforward installation on your FTX Khaos. The assembly mounts directly to the brushless motor without requiring any modification to your truggy, making it accessible even to RC enthusiasts with basic mechanical skills.
- Will this heatsink work with other FTX models? — This heatsink is specifically engineered for the FTX Khaos and its brushless motor. Whilst similar heatsinks may fit other FTX models, compatibility is not guaranteed. For best results, only use this heatsink with the FTX Khaos as specified.
- Does the motor heatsink fan require a separate battery connection? — The cooling fan in this heatsink draws power from your existing speed controller system, so no additional battery connection or wiring is required beyond what you already have installed in your FTX Khaos.
