I'm new here too. I"m not really much for paying attention to the more techy aspects of the game. Basically, i just equip the parts and see if they work.

The one thing i understood from lurking at gamefaqs was to stay away from the Kujaku and the Orchid. So far, the best gens for me are the G91 and the Kongoh while the best rads are the Ananda and the R92.

Problem is that sometimes they don't seem enough. My workhorse is a lightweight with a Helios core, a Kongoh and an Ananda. I overboost rarely cause the walking and boost speed of the AC itself is the fastest i've ever come up with. I just don't like the fact that it can heat up pretty quickly at times. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it?

For one thing, the Kongoh has one of the highest (if not the highest) calorific values for the generators. What that means is the heat given off by using it for boosting and OBing is higher than the G91, Lotus or Fudoh. Which is bad.

Since you said you're using the Helios (which is one of the coldest OB cores in LR), I think the problem mainly lies with your generator. Try switching to Lotus, since as you can see in Blues Mage's FAQ, it's one of the top choices for OBing. A low calorific value, a high output and a large redzone make it a perfect fit for those types of ACs. That should see your heat decrease by a large amount. You can now OB much more efficiently too.

Here, <a href='http://youtube.com/watch?v=B-g2syWPtBA' target='_blank'>this guy</a> should illustrate what I'm talking about. And take note, he's using the /UL OB core and the Gull boosters (both having high heat outputs). But he's using Lotus, so...

If that doesn't work, I suggest switching some of the frame parts around a bit, or tuning some of them to cooling.

Lunar, so that you don't heat up too much, you have to find the right combination of generator and booster. For all instances, ANANDA as your radiator will do the job.

For OBing and all other purposes, G91+VULTURE2+ANANDA works nicely. LOTUS+GULL+ANANDA excellent too.

However, if you want to run REALLY cool at the expense of a little air time, LOTUS+VULTURE2+ANANDA works very nicely.

If you want to use the KONGOH, VULTURE2 is probably ok to pair up with it but you'll have to tune VULTURE2 mostly to heat. You'll also have to have parts that provide good cooling. I'm not sure but I think KONGOH with BIRDIE2 also works.

I"ve tried Kongoh with the Birdie2 already. Pretty sucky speed if you ask me. Sorry but i'm a little shallow when it comes to these types of things.

Thanks for the help by the way.

birdie2 is great on a light. they benifit alot from the the insane accell. it makes the little bastards even more harder to hit.
