The solution is easy, keep your lazer with the plastic support and change your motor .

Otherwise you will be ending in buying the full Lazer alloy chassis http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=130336497397 ...

Nope, I actually had this when I ran corally in my ZXR and the only way to get the motor to stop overheating and burning out the brushes was to use the alloy mount. The plastic doesnt do anything and a fan is not easy to fit and keep in the same place, and it doesnt do much to reduce the heat. I found using the metal heatsink, metal mount and metal L plate really did reduce the heat, and the X12 works fine for me. the alloy chassis, I could bend that in one event so isnt worth buying.
