Default RC18 electronics layout, Whats yours?

aight, how do you guys setup the electronics in ur rc18's?

currently i have the RX between the motor and servo and the esc strapped to the 4s due to the size of the esc lol.

is there anywere else u can put the electrics?, strapping em to the middle deck is kinda impossible for me

here is my layout from the last time I ran this - its now in the process of getting swapped into an 18R

and I got much smalled esc (Tekin B1) and receiver (micro spektrum)

In the pics I was running a full size spektrum receiver, blue bird MAX380MG servo and an old (80's) Tekin esc - it was a tight fit, but everything was there...

Unfortunately I don't think you have a choice about the upper deck

When i got my car, the ESC was between the motor and servo with the receiver on middle deck. Now with my tekin mini rage ESC, i have both the receiver and the ESC on the middle deck
