Dude...put the Rx flat on top of the Servo. Then move your speedo about 1/2 inch behind servo, thus freeing up some space near the motor...

Then direct solder motor to speedo and go Deans™ plugs for batt connections.

That would be the ideal setup.

what i did was place my reciever on top of my servo....worked out great. that way you have enough room for your esc to lay flat..and you have room to do stuff.

So something like this?




This maybe a noobie question , I was looking into Deans Ultra Plugs, Does the male end go on the ESC Side or the Batteries?

Could I also use these plugs from the Motor to the ESC? I would like that ability to remove the motor for maintenance.

You guys have been a GREAT help, I do appreciate it.

Thanks

Yup...thats what I meant...great placement...now most folks use the male for the speedo and the female on the batts.

Swith the order for the motor so you don't get the plugs mixed up.

Then you'll be golden!

EDIT: Turn the speedo around 180 degrees.

One last question, does anyone know a good way to shorten the servo cables?

andsetinn

Yeah, but I don't know if you like it. You open up the servo and unsolder the servo vires, then you cut the wires to the right length and solder them back. Close the servo and you're done.

Do a search, this has been discussed recently.

If you use the Male on the batteries you risk having them get shorted out against a wrench or body clip or something metal in your pit box. Always use the female on the battery. that way too if you also use them on the motor you can use a Pack to break in a motor if you use the male plug on the motor. And I agree turn the speedo, but I'd just do 90 degrees to get the motor leads as close to the motor as possible.

you could also order some new pins from servo city and cut off the end put new pins on and go from there works good for me

You are 100% right, I went to Servocity.com and they do have a easy way to cut the long servo wires.

Very clean,The tool ia a camber gage.

Nick-mind

This is a noob question, But How do you use a Camber Gage. I am guessing it is for Toe in or out. But how do you use it?

WVRACER

camber hmm the best way i can explane it is

if you look strate down from the top of you car camber is how much the tires tilt in or out


best way to see it at work is to turn you weels all the way one way and then put some load on the shocks

at no load the wheel only have a small contact patch but with load the wheel will straten up and put a full face to the ground

here is a good site that explanes all of it alot better than me

The layout looks okay, but keep an eye out for glitching. Depending on what servo you run, there is noise generated by the servo gears and also digital ones will be affeccted by the rx. If no glitching, don't worry about it.
