So I hear all the buzz in the pro comp scene about decasing the FXR shortening wires, eliminating the on/off and removing posts. I gave it a try, let me know what you think... Attachment 216961 Last edited by ynmech; 09-05-2016 at 01:15 PM. |

| Re: Naked FXR's it does, but they are NOT pushed down you can still push them to get into the programing stuff. What temps are you asking for? The soldering iron? Thanks for the great questions and feed back. When the next one is done I'll post up. need to go to the LHS to get one more. |

Had zero issues with it in water..... Also that rubber junk for tool handles is awesome too. They are looking for temps of the esc while it runs since fxr tends to run on high side due to no cooling fins. | |

The FXR used the power connectors as a sort of make shift heat sink. I think as long as you use an external BEC, and treat them as a comp rig would get used ( run a pack and allow some cool off time) they have proven reliable. I am not sure I would want to run pack after pack for hours on end without any heat sink and expect a long life. | |

The FXR's decased will last for sometime, however having ran them for about 3 seasoned uncased and without the soldering tabs I've found out they do have a shelf life, and that shelf life has always seemed to be different. Conformal coating is about the only coating I would use, it produces the less heat build up out of any other option which is key in making sure these last the longest possible |

Thanks for the input, I need it. I do have corrosion X but never tried it on electronics. Learn some thing new every day. I will let you know about the temps after I run it a few times. | ||

Not bad but if you need to get them smaller you can. If you stick them back to back and use 18awg wire then shrink wrap them you can get them much smaller and sealed up better i think. I run them in my super and my 2.2 with the same setup shown below. There are also two BEC's under the fxr's. |
