How to fix a heatsink...

[captain harlock]

Hey guys,

How can I fix a BK heatsink to a Schulze controller?

My 9918 is no longer useful to me, so I thought I would use its heatsink in the 149.18 esc for extra protection.
The size of the heatsink is perfect to fit the controller, actually.
I simply need some tips to do it the right way.
I know that I have to tear the esc's shrink wrap, first and start from there.

Ok..How the hell did you get it off? Anywho, theremal epoxy...Artic Silver is good.

Taking it off is pretty easy. The thing is actually glued to the micro chips directly, so I used my own painful ways to tear it out of its place.

You konw where can I finde some heat shrink wraping to recover the controller with it?

Maxamps has a bunch of different sizes in clear or black. Click "Chargers and Misc" from the menu at left. Then, the "Wire and Shrink Wrap" link at the top of the results...

I suppose you weren't able to remove the heatsink from the Warrior without totally destroying it? I would have sold the 9918 and then used that money to buy a heatsink and have money left over.

Dont they have some- see through- heat shrinks?
I did not really destroy it.
The thing still has a chance of working, though its no longer good, not even befor I took out the heatsink.
Who would buy it, any ways.

Yeah, they have "see through", although they call it "clear". ;)

I dunno, but I'm sure someone would buy it (or would have) if you were just trying to get rid of it and charged like $100. But since it wasn't even good before you took the heatsink off; no, I don't think anyone would buy that.

if you can make sure it runs, i'll take it!
