Compact PCB cover with built-in heatsink

This PCB cover is made for Kyosho Mini-Z AWD platforms and is the AWD-36 model. It combines a protective shroud with an integrated heatsink to help manage PCB temperature during extended track use and setup sessions.

The cover protects electronics from dust and light impacts while providing passive heat transfer away from sensitive components. Fitment is aimed at Mini-Z AWD chassis, including MR-03 AWD layouts referenced in the product name.

Installation is straightforward for experienced Mini-Z hobbyists: remove the body or access panel, seat the cover on the PCB alignment points, and secure using the original mounting points or supplied screws where applicable. No motor, ESC, or servo modifications are normally necessary, but verify clearance around connectors and antenna leads before final tightening.

As a tuning accessory, the cover helps keep PCB temperatures more consistent across repeated runs, which can reduce thermal drift in electronics when back-to-back heats are common and airflow is limited.
