Couple things....It's permanent..so be sure you dont want to take what ever it is you bond apart. If your unsure of that...He sels thermal tape also.

I can see you are kind of new @ this so let me explain how the forum can best work for you;) . Step 1. You collect all the information you can about the item you are looking for help with. Step 2. Take a couple of pictures. Step 3 You present us with ALL the data and pics. Then we offer our opinions on how you can best get your project done right. I don't mind offering advice. I am how ever to busy to go check out sites for information that should have been collect befor the question was asked. So in short go grab the pictures and the esc's exact specs, Post them and we would be happy to offer up solutions.:)

I noticed that. Seemed kinda odd they didnt make an effort to insulate the plates from the fetts or boards./

why don't you use a .25" thick piece of plexi (or any plastic) mill a U-shape path with your Dremel, not too deep but wide, glue two fittings at each end of the path and stick everything with silicon on a 1/8 aluminium or copper sheet?
