Easily done with just a 11mm hole. Maybe see if there is interest in that from other people. If so, it could be done a little more elegantly

Hey, @Savage1
Iām interested in your anti-sink plates and ESC heatsink. Two questions for you:
- Do you sell screws for any of these?
- Any recommendations for how to make sure that an ESC mounted to your heatsink has a watertight seal? Usual M5 flat heads with some loctite? Maybe grommets on the ESC side?
Thanks!

@goodmove We can provide the screws and lock nuts for the antisink plates. For the heat sink, it only fits the xenith and focbox unity just to let you know. For that, we provide the m3 screws with rubber washers to seal the sink to the esc. From there, you need to seal the heat sink to the enclosure after the cut out. Some might use butyl tape, silicone, etc.
That said, I machined a groove in my heat sink to accommodate for a square āo ring groove to seal to the enclosure. Iām still testing this out though.

That all sounds great! Iāll reach out about one or both of these soon. Need to take inventory. Looking forward to seeing the pics too.

Square o rings like these?
Whatās the size of the groove/what size ring do you recommend?
@goodmove, I tested the square o ring groove milled into the heat sink. I donāt think it is a good option for the following reasonā¦
The inner surface of the enclosure can vary in flatness, which would require tightening the screws that secure the heat sink to the enclosure to tight. I thought it might be a viable option, but no. Just being honest.
Just seal that surface with silicone, butle tape, or any closed cell rubber/foam You donāt even really need to use the holes provided to secure the heat sink to the enclosure. The heat sink can become one with the enclosure.
If anybody would like to chime in on this, please do!

@Savage1 Thanks! Hereās the plan so far: use sealing screws (screws with o-rings) to mount the heatsink to the enclosure with a neoprene gasket (or just four strips), between the heatsink and the enclosure. Alternative butyl tape or silicone strips instead of neoprene. Iāve also thought about using sealing washers on the inside of the enclosure, but it might be overkill. Thoughts?
Also, what did you want to do about that outline/overlay? Is it something I can print on paper and cut out?
I used 2mm thick sorbothane strips (pricy, but I had a roll of it) I also laid a bead of silicone around that
PM @RideNebula and he can email you a the stencil to trace around. Word of advice when cutting the enclosureā¦ Cut inside the lines and have a flat and round file to bring it in to fit. little extra work, but even small gaps look like crap

Just a quick update here. We have another batch of these machined and will be getting some of them anodized soon. To get a better idea of how many we should anodize black and how many we should leave raw, I wanted to get a rough quick idea of current interest. If you might want some out of this batch, PM me with color/count. Also weāve lowered the price by about the typical cost of shipping, putting them at $14.

On top-mount setups they prevent the truck screws from digging/sinking into the deck when tightened down.

These are on my non electric boards. Fantastic piece of equipment. I havenāt used any on my electric as itās a drop through, but Iām interested if thereās anything for underneath, or. 2 pieces per truck, or a u-bend kinda setup
