The radiator for my water cooled RC car

Options
I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. I cut a tube, with fins attached, off an AC condensor from a car and wraped it around a 1/4" rod and put it inside a
spice jar duct with a fan on the end. I still have to run the supply and return lines and I will probably put a second fan on the other end of the tube to help move the air. I'm using an electric water pump and the switch to turn the pump on and off. The radiator fans will always be running. I thought about using a thermister to
control the speed of the water pump but I'm afraid it would be too complicated to calibrate. Texas Insturments has a thermoswitch but I'm waiting for a price quote.

The engine is a .15ci 2 stroke running between 20-50% nitromethane @ 30,000 rpm.

BTW: I think this site is great!
