How in the hell can you make a $300 ESC without any type of mounting holes or even offering your own mounting bracket?!?!
No I will not tape the damn thing down!

Hey Ricky,,,,,it aint rocket appliances.......
lolz...
I hear ya bro, it’s weird they expect tape to hold that down.....I’m new to the hobby and this two sided tape thingy has me baffled.
good luck,,,,maybe some tie wraps are the ticket, as well as tape. Gorilla sells some good stuff, it’s called mounting tape.
cheers,

Nope worst case scenario you have a crash and a $300 ESC goes flying out of your RC, ripping out wires as it goes & smashes on the street."Worst case Ontario" the tape needs replacing one day
Strangely that cap isn’t bulged thoSpeaking of the Mamba xlx I was chafing the fan on one of them and came across a cap that looks to have leaked, so I checked the other and same issue. Anyone else seen this or checked theirs recently.
One esc has only seen 4 and 6s the other 6 and 8s a couple of times. View attachment 89224View attachment 89225
Are you sure that’s leaking? Might just be some dirt sticking to some silicone that was left there at manufacturing. Normally they are made to fail at those slits on the top. Send a picture to castle and see what they say.Speaking of the Mamba xlx I was chafing the fan on one of them and came across a cap that looks to have leaked, so I checked the other and same issue.

There is only 13.5mm from the top of the cap to the outside screw recess of the fan grill.. Yet they use 16mm screws.
It would have been nice to let others know if you spotted this issue to prevent this happening in the future. As this could be a costly measure for both parties.
Good stuff? yeah the fans are pretty poor tbh the first fan died on after only a few runs on mine the second a fan snapped off
Hopefully they see the issue as I plan to email shortly,
I have made a quick vid of my issue hopefully others see it before it gets the extent of my damage.
