this is to be able to mount the ESC to a plate and then connect the plate to a deck, you will never see these holes because they are on the bottom of the unit. These holes on the FOCBOX only go partially into the aluminium they are not used to mount the PCB
I do something similar to BKB and those holes are super useful
I see, if that big hole is for all the wires to come out, and has enough space for it to wire out without much strangle, it should be good. But as @Arzamenable mentioned, some builds may have a ton of connections and hence more wires.
I only hook up hall sensors and occasionally a BT module.
Should save just a few bucks. Shipping would be twice though.
@jeffwuneo Do you declare the package as bought from a company, private person or as a gift ?
A gift is tax free for up to 45€ without shipping.
Something i bought up to 22€ including shipping. Else i have to pay atleast 19% tax + up to ~7% duty fees
Well it could happen. But it would be practical if we get a fitting invoice for that value if the customs want proof of what we have payed. Or atleast make it something like 23.99€ instead of 15 or 10 like most chinese sellers do it. Thats too obvious.
