My 300 amp 3-16s Fightercat speed controller has a heat sink for the back of the circuit board. Between the board and the grease is a thin tape or plastic, presumably for electrical isolation while still allowing heat transfer. Does anyone know where I can get some of this stuff?

This is what I have found so far and am very tempted to order http://cpc.farnell.com/electrolube/tbs20s/thermal-bonding-compound/dp/SA01013 .Could be very handy. Usually the local electronics shops will have heat sink compound but it does not harden.Most of these ESC's need something to bond the heat sinks.I recently had a Castle lose it bond when I hit it with Conformal Coating.

Ebay, put in heat sink pads, heat sink tape, thermal heat transfer pads. Lots of it on their.

That's not what I'm looking for. This stuff is about the thickness of scotch tape. If I can't find any that's probably what I'll do, though.

Some are single side or double side adhesive also.

s this the lander motor? If so could you weight it for me...I would LOVE to know the mass on the motor...seems like the SUPPO 910kv would be a direct replacement for it.

Fightercat RC has them for 55shipped

the mono you ran the neu 2230 in . what size and length flex cable did you run in that boat? how much did it weigh? thanks

I ran a 1/4 cable. Don't know lengths or weight. My motor was towards the front of the boat so I think my cable was over 1 ft long.

So Mark F, the kapton tape has high thermal conductivity and good electrical insulating properties, correct? And by the way, those 6s 5000 mah batts work great in the mono. Thanks- Mike
