Aftermarket PCB shield with integrated heatsink

Designed for Kyosho Mini-Z AWD cars, this AWD-36 PCB shield combines a protective cover with a built-in heatsink to assist with temperature control during extended sessions and club nights.

It protects the board from dust and knocks while passively drawing heat away from critical electronics. The cover is meant for Mini-Z AWD platforms and MR-03 AWD chassis layouts referenced in the title.

Fitting is aimed at experienced Mini-Z builders: remove the car body or access panel, position the cover to the PCB alignment points and secure using the chassis mounting locations or any included screws. No motor, ESC or servo mods are typically necessary, though always check connector and antenna routing before tightening up.

For tuners this accessory helps even out PCB temperatures across multiple runs, which can reduce thermal drift and improve consistency when airflow is limited.
