Hornet question

[mobias]

Hi all

Just bought a re-re Hornet off ebay as an Xmas prezzie to myself. Just got one little question, is there enough room between the motor and the rear shock to install a heatsink on the motor? If my 20 year old memory serves me correctly there isn't much room between the two and I like using heatsinks where I can. Anyone got a Hornet handy that could tell me?

Cheers

There isn't much room in there for a heat sink

I didn't think so, cheers for the reply, amazing Hornet you've got there by the way.

i fitted a cooler no problems on my grasshopper 2, so should be fine.

The original Grasshopper & Hornet chassis don't leave any room for a heatsink. The GrassHopper 2 and Super Hornet uses a different chassis, so it could fit a heatsink, but even then, it's a little tight.

Hope this helps.

Cheers for all the replies folks. I won't bother ordering one for my new Hornet.  Might get a BZ motor though

I had a 27T Orion motor in mine, and I never used much more than half throttle, the car doesn't seem to respond to high RPM motors too well, due to the lack of independent rear suspension. The rear end was always jumping and not getting the power down. Try it, but i'd probably suggest a Sport Tuned at most for it.
