    How are people running the plumbing for the Flycolor 150 and a Genesis?

    Any clever adaptations to make it nests efficiently into the hull?

    For this specific ESC and the ESC tray at the front, it doesn't fit particularly well...

    The low mounted and wide seperated fittings make this Long ESC require to sit even further forward on the short ESC deck.

    Has anyone ran angled fitting to interface with the water hoses?

    Are the stock fittings on the Flycolor press fit or are they threaded?

    Maybe even adding a ] shaped hard pipe to cycle water from one side to the other of the ESC?

    Anyone have pictures they could share on how to efficiently pack this ESC into a genesis?

        What extra cap bank? I have 3 of these and none have more than the 4 caps same as the Flycolor. Maybe you are thinking of the T-180?

          See that's the issue, in that particular picture it may be hard to tell, but that ESC is only technically sitting on ~1" of the remaining Esc deck....

          This ESC doesn't organically work well with the Hulls allotted space and mounting area.

          Not that this is a problem, just curious how others are going about making it work?

          And if anyone has any tricks to make it work better?

          Right now, I think I am going to build a small extension to the existing mounting so the ESC simply has something to sit on, and gets those fittings high enough to attach the tubing to without rubbing on the mounting structure.

          Doesn't fit in there as well as the Tunigy 180A on the other genesis I have, which sat perfectly on the little platform, plumbing had clearance,and the wires had good exit points to stay out of the way.

            Same than OSE Raider 6s 150 Amp Esc.
            Alain,

            Did you test this ESC before advising ?
            Of course not, like every advices you give all over the web

            If OSE sells a different version of this ESC, it may be for reason... no ?

            @thtoolman, I agree with fweasel, when you'll improve your set-up, a bigger ESC fit well as least 180+ A:
            ZTW 200, Hobbywing 180 (I'm using 180 V1 for years in a Fightercat Daytona, then Supersport 21).
