i was thinking about how many people talk about how they have this esc and theyre not sure if it will work so they buy another. i have never had this problem because i connect my motors to my esc with deams instead of soldering them strait and i velcro my esc down. i was wondering if anyone else has done this, because i never have to buy a new esc since i just bought one really good one.

When I bought an esc I made sure it would work with the motors I wanted and the amount of cells I needed. Mine is inside a water proof box and I also put Deans connectors to the motor. That way if I need to change motors I just unplug it and plug in the new one.

yeah i use the same esc with all my boats and all my cars. ive coated it in epoxy with a heat sink that way its water proof and it will stay cool in cars and in boats.

In boats, heat sinks don't work the way they do in cars, unless yoiu figure out a way to get air moving across them.

my esc is a brushless/ brushed and is rated for some huge number of cells (i cant remember how many) so if im running a normal amount of cells it doesnt get hot.
