Looks good Chris. Two suggestions to further bullet proof it...


1) Take the capacitor and trim the rigid leads down real short and solder flexible wire (18-20ga) between the cap and the battery leads. I had a rigid cap lead fracture and break on another esc just from the normal vibration of use and it shorted and toasted my rx and servos. The esc survived, but it still wasn't fun. The flexible wire will prevent the rigid cap leads from fracturing.

2) Unplug the fan from the MMM board solder a servo lead on it and plug it into the Rx so its powered with the external BEC. With it still plugged into the board it is still putting a very small load on the internal bec. As long as you have gone this far you might as well take as much load of off the internal bec as you can. Once you take the fan off of the internal bec circuit the only thing it will power is the MMM brains and thats a very small load.

I did the same thing, as you with the window in the bottom of the case and the padding under it, but I think you went a little crazier with the dremel tool than I did. I just did a small 1/2 inch square. Yours looks 4 times as big as mine, but as long as you can mount it still it probably doesn't matter how big it is. The point is to take the pressure off of the board.

I dont see why any of that would void the warantee. People have been doing case mods on this esc from the start and the rest of it doesnt touch the board. The only questionable thing is the direct jumpering of the switch right on the board as you described. I havent had a switch fail yet so I havent gone that extra step yet. I'm sure it will happen eventually though. That is provided I can get one to run for a decent legth of time.
