I agree with jayjay, it really should be mounted where the ESC isn't subject to that kind of abuse. Even if that shield is made of metal, a crash could bend it and hit the caps anyway. A falling/moving vehicle (even a Pede) landing on the ESC has enough inertia to crush all but the sturdies guards. And if you made it strong/thick enough, that would be reducing the heat dissipation properties.

Use steel, and make it at least 4" thick. That way you can wad the pede up during a 120mph crash and the esc will be fine.
1/4" steel will most likely do for normal driving, but I like overbuilt stuff! (no comments on fat chicks please) |
