    Did they both have the aluminum plate on them from the factory?

            Not hard at all. I been using this for waterproofing my esc's and receivers so far it has worked great.IMG_20180728_192136041_LL.jpg

                Raydee, you should be okay. If you want to make it more bulletproof you can just glue aluminum/copper plates to the opposite (exposed) Bus bars and attach them to the stock aluminum heatsink. L shape here.

                I did that + 2 tubes on each side of it and I pulled about 420 amps from them and I’m going to test out some higher pitch SAW props and expect amps to go a good bit higher on my hpr99 twin cat

                    420 spikes not continuous. Im spiking nearly 200 on a 100 with a 2860 5050kv on 2s

                      Yeah I figured. I originally started looking at the Castle air controllers back when I heard the EDF guys were pulling 400+ amps from them. Knock on wood the ones I am using have been great.

                        Using a Castle ICE Aircraft Controller in FE boats

                        Spikes or not, i think it’s safe to say not many cheap China controllers would handle anything close

                        Oh and don’t forget attaching extra caps as close to pcb as possible, if you plan to exceed amp limits. I have about 5000uf of ZL 470uf rubycons on each without pony tail leads (I removed the stock caps). Placed (4) of those in the front

                          Just curious what diameter shrink wrap you guys are using on the edge 200 controllers after you water cool them?
