ESC are expensive.... even on the castle mm they rely on locking tab and their sticker to hold the two halves together, with just servo tape I have had the sticker and tabs release which exposed the cpu board and poof.

The Rc8.2e rtr had a big issue with esc releasing from chassis due to servo tape failure. it just sucks when you do not know your esc is bouncing around inside the chassis and then zzzt
Currently, the Speed control is secured to the chassis with servo tape. During all of testing we had 0 issues with speed control coming loose. However, we are looking into the possibility of a speed control tray.
