1) Marine ESC. Read as: "Unless you water-cool it it will overheat."

2) The Sentilon is an AWESOME ESC if you have mechanical brakes.

3) If the lack of a BEC is the only problem, what's the problem?

Dont see whats funny, using an external ubec or Rx pack reduces space and heat on the esc. Thats a GOOD thing!

Didnt realize the sentilon doesnt have brakes... that sucks it seemed like a keeper. Even with a fan the marine controllers overheat??

Using an externam BEC is besides the point on a marine esc.. as you can see it has no heatsink and will overheat as stated.

Oh no heatsink... duh didnt catch that. You could always add one, wouldnt be hard to do with a thermal pad and small HS. Definitely worth it.

Not without a pistix adapter.


its not worth tryig to remove the water cooling plate from the esc and install your own.. just get a mamba max and mod it. same results with better parts support.

I suppose you could flood the cooling tubes with thermal paste and then add a heatsink to the top of them... It's not the *best* solution but it would work if there is a flat surface under the heatshrink.

The HexTronik has a heatsink. It's that thin aluminum plate held on by the heatshrink...
