ESC Heat Shrink

SeeFernando · August 16, 2019, 01:06:50 PM

Hey Ya'll,

Where you do you get the Giant Heat Shrink for your ESC's? I've got a 70A ESC that needs like 2-3" diameter tubing.

Thanks!

I think I have some that I can bring you. I got it from a swap meet, but maybe try banggood.....

HobbyKing has 50mm and 100mm (1.9 & 3.9in)
I also found this website, seems to have a good selection:

I would try Sayle to see if they have any, because I know they sell wire heat shrink tubing in many many many sizes. Closest Sayle that I go to is on Woodbine Ave south of the 407 (1 or 2 lights) on the east side.

Amazon, for 10$ you can get any size you need for the rest of your life. Next day if you have Prime.

While I don't have many strong points, spelling isn't one of them ether.

Thanks guys!

Now I just need to figure what size based on the shrink ratio.

I'll check out Sayal and Amazon!

Cheers

Well aren't we 'just picky'...

Realistically how often do you plan on man handling the ESC anyways? The label is already gone. My esc's usually just sit there neglected until they either have to be replaced or I am moving to another plane out of necessity.

This is true, but I think my OCD won't agree...

Also I saved the labels and I'm going to get clear tubing... OCD... Again...
