ESC placement
building a car on the graphite chassis. The new ESC I have is wider than the chassis space left and I'm not sure on where to mount it, I'm considering up front next to the servo. I'm thinking it might better the balance of the car too with less weight towards the rear. no matter where its mounted, the bottom will not be fully supported.
Im trying to put a driver figure in this car so prefer to keep it low in the car.

Re: ESC placement
With a driver it's a little harder. We always ran the shock tower or used a battery cup to make a shelf above the battery
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Re: ESC placement
I thought you mean mount the heatsink on its side.
I dont see any idea why I shouldnt try at least.

Re: ESC placement
Well, looks like nothing works. even with the esc sitting on the chassis, the wiires are in the way of the body sitting flat.
looks like I wont be able to use the driver either way now. I butchered the hell out of it too trying to make it sit better with the body :/
