Well, that was a quick $170...

Can I buy your leftover heatsink if it's still around? What are it's dimensions?

Back story-Pursuit with Feigao 12xl, have run this boat on both 6 and 8s and had been running 6S on an Etti 150 for the last couple of years. Last time out, I smoked the 150 due to a plug in the cooling system, which turned out to be a blockage in the motor mount cooler. Missing being able to run 8S, I ordered an Etti 120 HV from Steven a few days ago. Package shows up today, get it all soldered up, check for flow through the cooling lines (blew through them) and hit the lake. I repeatedly kept telling myself to make sure to check the water outlet when it comes by but kept having issues with the collet slipping on the flex, so kept getting distracted. Finally got it tight enough to not slip, and was so overwhelmed with joy seeing it run on 8S again that I forgot to check the water outlet as it was coming by. The pics speak for themselves . I know many have lost a lot more than $170 in this hobby, as have I, but to lose two ESC's in a row due to being absent minded just sucks. I only checked the hose going into the boat, never thought to check the rudder pickup- I should have .

I thought for sure I was going to lose the boat- it flamed up pretty good. Wish I had my camera with me, it at least looked cool sitting out in the middle of the lake at dusk glowing like a chinese lantern . I don't know how there are no holes in the boat. Gonna be fun cleaning this one out! The only "good" news is I was smart enough to use old packs for the maiden run...

It is still on the bench in my garage. It's pretty black but will clean up. I'll get you some measurements later on.

I'll take a look in my shop and see if I still have it. Doubt it but I'll check.

Yea I'm working on getting that smell out too!! Had a cooling line blow off. (Was planning on clamping all of them just didn't get around to it yet as this boat wasn't up to speed yet. )

Knock if off fellas these are toy boats and we're damn tired of being your babysitters. WE have better things to do.

I have to agree, sometimes we have to lighten up and realise these are toy boats and we should enjoy doing our thing. Cudos to all those who help each other with good answers etc. Much appreciated. Btw I haven't smoked an esc yet (touch wood), killed a sk90 on 6s, and burned out one motor due to forgetting to hook up a cooling line to rudder, but ended up with a better motor for that boat in the end, so all was good.

Actually, not sure at what point it went, but it turns out the motor was bad and that took out at least the ESC I had just bought to replace the one in this post. Not sure what, if any, role it played in taking out the others. Funny thing is after the replacement stopped working (which was about 10 seconds into using it), I was using the motor for a while on 6S and had no issues with it for a while which had me scratching my head. It finally crapped out completely and that's the only way I figured it out. However, like you, I ended up with a much better motor in the end :D. Has a Leopard 4082 1600kv in it now- on 6S it is MUCH faster then the Feigao, scared to even try it on 8S lol.
