New ESC and it's looking good

I have been pleased with all of the products I receive from Scorpion. Out of hundreds and hundreds of outrunners I haven't gotten one single bad one, not one blemish. Of the few ESCs they have worked great for a great price too.

I like how the owner of Scorpion seems to want to build a very nice car controller. I gave him some ideas and he liked them. After I'm done installing the heat sink and fan, I'll send him photos of it. I sent him a photo of a very nice heat sink/ fan combo and I hope he uses it. I'll see if I can do the changes to this ESC ASAP and get it out for some more testing.

Now let me explain the ugliness. I was going to use shrink wrap, but most of the controllers I have with shrink wrap seems to make it shrink some more. So I had some of that Self Fusing Silicone Rubber tape here and decided to try it out. One advantage is that it will withstand higher heat and it should harden a bit in a few hours. You can also see that it makes for a much more water tight application. It also smells like my uncle's rubber factory . I will find my on/off switch and add it to the fan and use my rx pack that's already in the truck to run the fan. I don't need the rx as the BEC on this controller is just doing a great job and hasn't failed yet. Hope your guys enjoy my Frankenstein job .
