Overview
The ARRMA Motor Heatsink Type B is a precision-engineered cooling accessory designed specifically for the ARRMA 1/14 TYPHON GROM MEGA 380 brushed 4x4 buggy. As a dedicated RC car spare part, this heatsink plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal motor performance during extended driving sessions. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying your ready to run RC buggy or a competitive racer pushing your machine to its limits, motor temperature management is essential for reliability and longevity. The GROM heatsink represents ARRMA's commitment to quality engineering, providing RC enthusiasts across the UK with genuine OEM components that ensure their vehicles perform at their best.
Motor cooling is a critical factor in RC performance that many hobbyists overlook. As your brushed motor operates, it generates heat that can degrade performance, reduce efficiency and potentially cause permanent damage if left unmanaged. The ARRMA Motor Heatsink Type B addresses this issue head-on by efficiently dissipating heat away from the motor windings. This spare part is particularly valuable for those who engage in extended bashing sessions, competitive racing or high-performance driving where motor temperatures can spike rapidly. By investing in a quality heatsink like the GROM Type B, you're protecting your investment and ensuring consistent performance throughout your RC experience.
As an authorised RC retailer, we stock genuine ARRMA spares and accessories that are fully compatible with your GROM buggy. This Motor Heatsink Type B is the correct replacement or upgrade component for your 1/14 TYPHON GROM, delivering authentic ARRMA engineering and reliability. Whether you need to replace a damaged heatsink or upgrade for improved cooling performance, this is the perfect addition to your RC maintenance toolkit.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Motor Heatsink Type B is precision-engineered for thermal management on the 1/14 TYPHON GROM MEGA 380 brushed motor system. During extended driving sessions with your 4x4 buggy, the brushed motor generates significant heat as electrical resistance converts power into rotational force. Without adequate heat dissipation, motor temperature can climb rapidly, reducing efficiency and potentially causing winding damage. The Type B heatsink design utilises optimised surface geometry to increase the cooling area in contact with ambient air, allowing heat to dissipate more effectively whilst your buggy is in motion. The construction materials are selected for thermal conductivity and durability, ensuring the heatsink remains effective across multiple seasons of use. Whether you're running extended bashiing sessions on UK terrain or competing in RC racing events, this heatsink helps maintain the motor in its optimal operating temperature window, preserving performance consistency and extending motor lifespan. For those who demand reliability from their RC equipment, this GROM heatsink is an essential component.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a motor heatsink and why do I need one for my RC buggy? — A motor heatsink is a metal component that dissipates heat generated by your brushed or brushless motor during operation. As your RC car's motor draws current and produces rotational force, electrical resistance creates heat. Without a heatsink, motor temperature rises rapidly, reducing efficiency and potentially damaging the motor windings. The ARRMA Motor Heatsink Type B is specifically designed to keep your GROM's MEGA 380 motor in its optimal temperature range, particularly during intense bashiing or racing sessions where motors work hardest.
- Is the ARRMA Motor Heatsink Type B compatible with my TYPHON GROM? — Yes, this heatsink is designed specifically for the ARRMA 1/14 TYPHON GROM MEGA 380 brushed 4x4 buggy. It is compatible with both the Red/White (C-ARA2106T2) and Blue/Silver (C-ARA2106T1) versions of the TYPHON GROM. As a genuine ARRMA OEM spare part, it will fit perfectly and provide optimal cooling performance for your model.
- Will this heatsink improve my RC buggy's performance? — By maintaining lower motor temperatures, the heatsink helps preserve motor efficiency and prevents performance degradation that occurs in overheated motors. This means your GROM will maintain more consistent power delivery throughout longer bashiing sessions, and you'll experience less throttle sag or loss of acceleration caused by motor heat. This makes it an excellent upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and consistent performance.
- How does the Type B design differ from other motor cooling solutions? — The ARRMA Motor Heatsink Type B is engineered specifically for the GROM's MEGA 380 motor, meaning it has been optimised for the exact size, shape and thermal characteristics of this powertrain. This targeted engineering approach ensures superior cooling performance compared to generic heatsinks that attempt to fit multiple motor types.
- Is this a genuine ARRMA part or a third-party replacement? — This is a genuine ARRMA OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) spare part, manufactured to the same specifications and quality standards as the components supplied with new TYPHON GROM buggies. This guarantees authentic engineering, perfect fitment and reliable performance.
- Do I need any tools or additional parts to install the heatsink? — Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic tools and a few minutes of your time. Detailed installation instructions should be consulted, but as a direct replacement component, no modifications or additional parts are needed.
