*** New SeaKing 180 V3 Testing... Could use set up advice

[olwarbirds]

Burst rates 720 on 120 over 1000 on 180...they dont offer a HV or higher continous amp, talking about Hobbywing who makes the seaking 120/180, they do not make the seaking 130 HV which has issues....MGM 600$ and up... Etti ... SF hit and miss ... have not tried YGM or modellbau yet ...I have seen others have probs with castles normally due to misuse or lack of capbank. Guess I been lucky. It would be nice to have one good lineup using same programmer for all our needs. I really like the logging feature....DJ

Thats not a bad idea

I just sent hobbywing this email because I'm being serious

"I'd like to request a much needed product. Your seaking 180 esc's have been highly successful in the boating hobby. It has a very good reputation for holding up much better than most other esc's. What my request is for you to offer an even higher, heavy duty esc based off of the SeaKing 180. Maybe somewhere in the 240-250 amp range with a high burst capacity. This would fill a much needed gap in the fast electric boating market. I can assure you that if it turned out as good as the sea king 180 and wasn't extremely high priced ($200-$250 price point seems fair) it would sell like hot cakes. Thanks for your time and hopefully consideration!

Here is some pics for now:

What is the bulge in the power lines? Cap pack or spark eliminator?
Now that I can see the cap side, my hope for adding an extra pair of water nipples is dashed. I had hoped to add another pair on either end of the extra heat sink openings and then loop one more round of silicone tube to increase water flow.
May I ask what does the three pins do? It´s obvious but my brain is shutting down...

The pins are for connecting a Male to male (ummm) cable to it for programming

thank you sir!
On second thought, how can a male to male pin mate??? Am I missing something? Yes, I know what I am missing, but just electrically speaking... uh, you know what I mean...
