Another worthy ESC? Watercooled Max5.

[Mike W]

I know I've seen a few of these and the smaller Max8s around running well only air-cooled in 1:8 scales. Now the Max5 water coolers are coming available from Stumpfab. No logging but the ESCs seem reliable and there are plenty around. I built a couple prototypes for a twin. Anybody have experience running these?

I've run them in 1/8 scale and q sport for 4/5 years with no major issues.

Me too, but thank O. Love fo dat recommendation!
I even had this happen in my Qsport mlb hydro, back straight of last lap (when shiz hits the fan) I hit a wave hard, but kept going.. coming into the pit it was riding lower and lower.. my pit buddy, “is it supposed to do that?” Turns out the floor busted and I lost one 6s batt to mr. davey jones, and limped in on the other one. This means the heretofore air cooled esc became water cooled.. fresh Colorado pond cooling in the gallons per minute rate! Still works great! I.e. very water proof!

That's one I've never heard before Jesse! Was it a Max5?
