Mini-Z AWD Crystal Mount with FET Cooling Plate AWD-39 by 3Racing  [AWD-39]

Compact Crystal Holder and FET Cooling Plate for Mini-Z AWD

This accessory combines a secure mounting point for crystal modules with a low-profile heatsink surface suited to the confined ESC boards found on Kyosho Mini-Z AWD MR-03 cars. It is intended to tidy the electronics bay while retaining original chassis spacing.

Compatibility focuses on MR-03 AWD trays where the original crystal position and ESC layout allow for an add-on bracket. The part provides mechanical support for the crystal and a thermal interface to help move heat away from nearby FETs during standard indoor running sessions.

Fitting advice: the bracket attaches to existing screw bosses on the MR-03 upper tray and needs basic access to the radio and ESC area. Route the antenna clear of the mount and ensure wiring is not pinched. Fasten with the stock small hex screws or equivalent, then check for any interference with moving components.

Usage note: this is a service and reliability upgrade rather than a performance mod. By stabilising crystal placement and offering a heatsink contact, it helps prevent radio dropouts and keeps ESC temperatures steadier in repeated runs.
