    Stiletto ESC cooling question

    Is it just mine, or is the ESC cooling plate, have a lot of resistance to pressure?

    I took my ESC out to install 5.5mm bullets, then I attached one hose to the cooling and blew through the tube with a lot of difficulty. I tried it on the other nipple, and the same resistance in the other direction. so much resistance, that I see the silicone tube swell as the air passes through the ESC. Before I get questions about kinks in the line or another device attached, it is just the ESC and one hose. nothing else involved.
    I'm sure glad I never ran it yet.
    Any ideas please?

    Thanks!

      I'll have to check mine tonight and compare it to the 45A ESCs...

              You are not supposed to install 5.5mm bullets on the cooling lines!
