Did you use a water cooled Esc . Did you use a single cooling pipe for motor and esc or separate ones

Yes, i did use 60 Amp watercooled esc with single cooling pipe for motor and esc.
but the cooling was not good enough for motor with the copper cooling pipe, hence i had ordered a water cooling jacket from Banggood which i have installed and now water cooling is much better and free flow of water through single cooling pipe.

Was this because not enough water flow which I know is difficult to assess . But maybe having a separate dedicated inlet for cooling water(not using the rudder inlet) will give better cooling also using a heat conducting paste when using a cooling tube helps much better cooling. Sorry just throwing the above info at you but shared it since I learnt them during my builds.

Hi Rooster,
Yes, i did use heat conducting paste but water flow was not enough.
I had a separate dedicated inlet for cooling water, i dint use rudder inlet.
I have ordered a aluminum water cooling Jacket for the motor, once i receive the same i will install it and do another test run.
Will keep you guys posted.

I guess They will do laser cut upto 4mm and CNC cutting for above 4mm. Not sure though, you can contact them and check.

Hi Sujit,
I dont have the plan as i got the part laser cut from HLI and they have the Laser cut file.
You can check with them and they will assist you.
