You can. I’ve seen skateboard companies do it for waterproofing. It sucks trying to remove it though.

Waterproofing is not part of my problem. I’ll be using sugru on every single hole I made once I’m certain everything is in the right place and that it works.

Ha. They didn’t really try and “waterproof” it. They merely just did a mold and forgot about it.
Yes…absolutely forgot about it.

Since I know myself to ride no matter the weather conditions, I wouldn’t trust all my hardwork done to an expensive esc on simple hot glue 
I’m gonna be using sugru for my phase wires to keep em watertight and flexible. Might as use a bit to make the switch look as clean on the inside as out
Yesyesyes

Better safe than sorry.
I use hotglue because i’m cheap and don’t want to spend money on something i don’t have, since hotglue works so far.
But since yours is more than a generic chinese esc i would go the better route

I use waterproof tape and silicone. Cheaper option right there.
Well like I said, I want to use something thatll give a bit of rigidity to it. Sugru will be applied after. The switch is in a part of the case where they combined layers of plastic and rubber. So the rubber part of it makes me a bit uneasy about it
This is a 450$ esc…not the time for me to be cheap (that was last build which still costs few grands)

That’s almost as expensive as buying two tramp vescs. What is it?

@Leon Until later this month. They’re about to start full production sales soon. I got the first unit of the hype sale they made recently

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll probably get one when my maker x esc stops working.

Well he told me I should not worry about it, since "they are designed to avoid shorts ".
I don’t know if it’s a mistake or not, but I’m not happy being told that it’s normal when it’s obviously not.
I will probably have to solder a female end on my Unity or make an adapter as some suggested. I am definitely not ever touching this battery soldering.

I’ve seen worse 
I was considering this lol I emailed them and they didn’t respond
Did you point out the fact that it’s the other connector that’s “designed to avoid shorts”? Also who is this idiot builder?
