Got some inner fenders for my sport, adding the front plate made me think of moving stuff about.

I've moved the ESC up front and the receiver behind the servo, on top of the motor, this leads to my question, is it safe to have the receiver above the motor?
And does a battery tray exist that would let me mount it across the width, rather than front to back?

its never good to have a rx by a frequency making object but then again I'm sure some will say its good ..lol

Don’t put the receiver near a brushed motor! I tried it in my Kyosho Raider and the range was only about 10 feet!

Cheers, I've not run it yet, will it be ok ontop of the ESC, or will that get to warm?

It’s generally not the best to have all of the electronics bunched together like that as they will get hotter faster.

I put the receiver box back to the OEM position, I'm waiting on a Cherokee body coming, so was trying to tidy everything up so i can run a scale interior.
