I got a new 99$ ESC from the same brand, just a newer version which claims stronger brakes.
I had to swap its XT60 to XT90 land MR30's to MR60's and while I was there I added another parallel XT90 panel mount to feed the ESC with another 10S battery, and cut another hole in the enclosure for it.
The Middle 5.5x2.5mm charge port is jst an unwired dummy port. There used to be a power button there.
The XT90 on the left is the 'loopkey' I feed the battery + through this. Pull the loopkey and 100% disconnect the esc from battery.
The new XT90 receptacle on the right is for the parallel ESC feed. Plug a 10S battery in here of equal voltage to 10S battery inside enclosure, or pull loopkey disconnecting discharged enclosure battery, and plug fully charged 10S battery into new receptacle and keep going.
Don't mix them up, or release the magic sparks and smoke.
The new ESC does indeed have significantly stronger brakes. I can stop in half the distance or less, than the old ESC.
