YPC

Had a great midweek session down at the berg with my good mate Dave Pratt who is still enjoying rcsurfing my original ShredÁ' board. I'ts good fun ripping up the surf with a buddy - must do it sometime again - sooon !

Will hit the surf this afternoon on the high tide again - BUT - only after some 'maintenance/repairs !

After running this Turnigy 120A ESC for well over 18 months now - surfing very regularly - I recently started experiencing intermittent power issues - On examination of the unit, I found that the actual wire in the -/+ power leads have actually corroded/broken down to the point of collapsing - possible due to heat - not even able to solder.
Unfortunately the leads location is in between two pc panels - so near impossible to replace the leads.



New ESC sealed with RU Adhesive and insulation tape - this method has worked extremly well for me



I use the RU Adhesive to wrap/seal the RX then cover with a balloon - 100% seal



I like to double up on the heat shrink sleeve for added insulation and strength - also cover the ESC / MOTOR
plug joint to prevent any moisture getting inside the plug.





Great Week End all ! - look forward to 'seaing' some great surf shots !
