Help with installing flipsky to my ebike

Hi everyone, Following.. and giving my story.. I am relatively new to this aspect of the e-bike world. I dabbled with some e-bike stuff about 7 years ago when I built out a custom "quad bike" as a display piece for my solar company.

That ended up turning into a burning man vehicle for my buddy! haha:

Anyway, long story long, I sold my Sprinter van a few months ago to travel South America, and now I am back. I have decided to not purchase a new vehicle for a while and just E-bike it.

I am a licesnsed solar electrian in a few states, so I am pretty good with electrical. I purcahsed this used bike bike a few weeks ago and I was very happy with it until I pushed it a little too hard and blew something.

The motor started doing some ssshuddering after I attemtped to go up a steep hill.
I took the motor apart and tested the Hall sensors because that is what I thought it was. Anyway, the sensors all looked good and now I think it is the controller. I do not have a lot of cash at the moment, so I am looking to upgrade it a little to make it a little more future proof, so I purchased a FlipSky 75200. I have figured out most of the wiring coming from all of the components. I should be able to hoook it up with realative ease.

My only concern is water intrusion... has anyone sealed one of those up? Other than that, thank you for all of the information you all put into this!
my approach to make it more water resistant was using old kt or other controller box few holes bit of thermal paste and screwing it inside said controller box and push wires using rubber gourmet that's already with the old controller box, easy chap way to make your flipsky 75200 bit more water resistant
