Water Proofing an HM 200amp esc

[SJFE]

I figured some one may be able to use this info so here it is. With this unit being 3 boards I needed to take a different angle @ it. No copper this time. I have cooling plates, 2 heat sinks and a fan. I made up a little mold out of some .050 lexan. Next time I will bake it in the oven as I was told. The heat gun is to uneven. It still was usable & some sanding will clean it up. Quite a bit will be removed during the clean up leaving a much smaller footprint than the 70's. The lexan will pop right off the epoxy and the 5 minute DC I used to seel up the wire holes. It's really easy to work with. just score it and a little bend breaks it off straight every time. I'll post the finnish pictures tomorrow.

Looks great.

Should I use this same approach with this one:

or do you think the heatsink is good enough? I have a water cooling plate I can add if necessary.

Tom,
Where did you get that ESC from? Himodel says they are out of stock. I am thinking of running your old KB 8XL I got from you on this ESC on 6S.
Keep up the good work!

[SJFE]

Nope KB8 "L" Not an XL. The XL is 1700kv The L is 2300. HM is out of stock becaues me and a couple other guys bought them out....lol

Tom,
What I meant is that I am planning on getting an HM GX200 to run with my KB 8XL on 6S in my 32in mono.
Do you think that would be a good way to go? Do you know of anyone that has run this ESC yet?
Thanks,

[brad65]

nice setup!

Tom do you want to sell me one all did up by you?

This is a very good article. I use the dp270 epoxy myself. In searching for alternatives, I came across this stuff...http://www.starbrite.com/productdeta...%20%2D%20Clear Has anyone else heard of this stuff?

If the price is right, I think I'll try some out.

Did you ever finish this unit and test it? I do not see anything but an epoxy coating over it all. How are you going to put the water cooling and fan on it?

Actually I have the one that Tom fabricated and it works wonderful.

She runs very well in the high 40's and might I add handles great for being so light.
