LX1E or Vorza

Well i spent some time and got the esc mounted decently. I modified the tray so i could use a ziptie. It looks pretty clean actually. However i still do not know what to do about mounting the switch. Any ideas?

If you don't want to cut off the switch, use a traxxas mount for the MMM. Yes it fits, but just barely. And you have to grind down the "lip" of the esc mounting pad in two places. On the left side (motor wire side in my pic) so the esc can sit flat, and a little in the rear so the traxxas mount can sit flat.

Ya i figured out i could use the trx mount right after i drilled the holes for the ziptie lol. Your motor wires are at least 2 times as long as mine, i wonder why? I had to mount mine the other direction in order for the wires to reach. How did you run the wire going to the reciever?

Josh it looks like you got a Traxxas MMM Combo, hence the shortened wires to make the RTR Vehicles have nice clean wiring.

Ah yes, that makes sense now.

My motor wires are stock 1520 motor wires. My revo is getting its yearly teardown and doesn't need the 1520 right now so I'm having fun running in the mid 60mph range with no heat issues. I have a 1518 coming that'll replace it. I want to shorten the wires on that motor and have the esc rotated like yours, but I'd rather not have an extension on the rx wire. Descisions, descisions.

Right now my esc rx wire runs under the center drive shaft, under the motor and through a hole (directly under the pinion) between the chassis and the motor mount. If you look close you can see it next to the rear chassis brace and by the pinion in the pic above. It was the only routing I found that wouldn't need an extension to get to the rx. Its nice and secure there, no chance of getting caught up in the spur or pinion.
