After looking at the housing it would have been nice if they added a mounting flange with screw holes so we can mount it without having to 3d print a mounting solution. This would also make exposing the heatsink through a box a bit easier for cooling. Or offer 2 variants, flange/no flange.
Biggest failure of all Chinese vesc housings! Simply have a mounting flange with bolt holes that allow for a waterproof seal.

What do you mean?
Can you give pictures, examples?
And @mekanism why would you mount it in a box, if it is waterproof?
Similar to this but make it full perimeter flange so it can be mounted through a box or housing to expose the heat sink to water. I still think you will need some sort of box or enclosure as other electronics aren’t waterproof anyway.

I plan to mount this esc outside of a pelican and connected to the battery and receiver inside through a PG

How would you prevent the ESC from moving if mounted outside of the housing/box ? Adhesives ? Like @mekanism I had in mind a 3D printed ESC enclosure (not waterproof) guiding and masking the cables…
What do you mean by “PG”, even this without cut ?

It turns out the waterproof ESC is already available for purchase:

Just placed an order for the am32 version, long cables and mount. Fingers crossed it works well! Thanks for helping develop this.
Great! Please report back how you like the am32
