It is a Thermistor. It's basically a fuse. If the motors pull too much current (or you try to use too many IMRs), they will cut out for about five minutes. You have a couple of options: remove it; bypass it, or ignore it.

If you're not doing anything with batteries, just ignore it. It adds a negligible amount of additional resistance.

The fastest way to bypass it is to give it a three quarter twist so the legs of the thermistor wind around each other.

You can remove it with scissors, strip back the insulation a quarter inch, and just twist the wires together. Throw a piece of tape over it. Doesn't matter what kind.

Happy modding !
