difference between the 2 ESC and Motor

[humayrayakongkinaon]

I've notice that my ESC is different than the other. mine seems to have the caps exposed and dont have a cooling line loop over the top of ESC. also my motor wire goes directly to the ESC, while some motors i see it with a connector more towards the motor.
My question is, is one better than the other?

heres mine:

and someones pic from here to see the difference

You have the new, improved version from Castle...

[humayrayakongkinaon]

wow, and here i am thinking that mine is the old version due to the cooling design, LOL.
thanks for the info.

[mike-susieq1]

yup you have the newer one that traxxas improved when they had all those messed up esc's when the spartan first came out. thats an even better deal you got.

[humayrayakongkinaon]

this is even better good news to me.
by tomorrow my aluminum cooling jacket and a pair of trim tabs will be here. i'm going to do the individual cooling (ESC/MOTOR) and i'm still trying to decide weither to get the dual water pick-up rudder or transom water pick-up.

[orca44]

The dual pick up rudder is faster and easier to install but the transom water pick up actually will provide more water flow.

And good deal on the boat....

I too have that model. Just out of curiosity - what were all the changes were made for the v2 boat?

What about those exposed capacitor tops? Surely bad if they get wet? Worth covering or a bad idea?

I spray my ESC's with liquid tape or plasti dip to help water proof them. Apart from spraying with a waterproofer of some sort I would recommend not covering the capacitors with anything that might hinder heat disapation.

Thanks again! I'll try that.
