I think a fart can exhaust and a sweet wing would set off the NEONS and SPINNERS. Then it will be AWESOME!  |

 I feel like if I leave too many pieces like they come out of the box I am going to be cheating or something. Some grown men would cry if they just saw what I did to this sweet ass Holmes ESC Cut off wheels, files, styrene, bondo, CA, sandpaper, etc........

I'll try and post the start of the ESC work before I leave to go crawling today. I go the holes filled last night, but I might do a little more styrene work before I call it good. All the wires and plugs have been desoldered, need to modify the bottom case half and get it prepped. Neal (Freq E Tag) came up with a good idea last night that I keep considering now. He was saying he could design a wrap for the ESC and RX. That might actually look really clean and I may take him up on it. |

That sure is comming together nicely  . Is that the low profile servo on the Dig? And if it is, does a standard servo fit in that chassis?

If I was copying your build it looks like so far I would've ruined one RX and be well on my way to destroying an ESC. Cool stuff for sure. |

Cool, Thanks sangell. I am not sure that I know any one else that has no problem cutting apart a couple hundred dollars of electronics. All good though. Anything goes in the name of AWESOMENESS |

| ESC Modifications Part 1 Started off with a Holmes Hobbies Torquemaster ESC. I wanted to use this ESC for it's power handling and huge internal BEC. This will keep the clutter down in the chassis. However for this build I just don't like the look, so I am changing it  First thing I did was disassemble it and desolder all the wires.  Second thing I did was cut the fins on the heat sink down, just to give the ESC a more unique look. I thought about painting the heat sink but I like the black and brushed look.   Then it was time to fill all the holes in the case.    After that I decided I wanted to change the shape of the ESC a little.      More sanding time lies ahead. |

Alright, sanded and primed. Next is to solder the wires and modify the lower case half. |

I guess I missed something? Why are you hacking up the electronics?:? |
