Interesting...

With my V1, there is no heat sink rubbing issue, but Im always nervy about connecting up my lipos every time so my technique isnt smooth at all, so in theory there should be a spark every time for me too; but there isnt.

Would the caps always discharge every time you unplug the batts, or is it dependant on if you turn the esc off first (which I do), and also the location of the caps on the circuit- are they in parallel to any components that would drain them regardless of the esc being on/off or hooked up to batteries etc?..

Hye there. It sounds like you have answers to most of your questions for the most part. Nice setup and congradulations on your success with the operation of your build. One added note on teh gear cover on your tranny. I used longer screws and placed nylock nuts on the screws first, which makes a small gap between the cover and the mounting plate. That took care of the rubbing issues for me, protects the gears from grabing any wires, and also gives you a little cooling effect for the gears during heavy useage. It works great and it is easy to install and remove just like normal. Good luck with continued success with your project.
