i have a tekin rs gen 2 esc and wanted to know if it would be ok to mount it on top of the steering servo? i will be using a futaba 4pls tx if that matters.
thank you

Should be ok here. Why on top of the servo tho? Are you really tight on space?

What vehicle are you putting it in ? Anywhere is ok as long as you have some decent airflow.

i have the space but I just want to get it higher up so as to help with dirt and debris. its in a dirt oval car that will run on clay. the chassis is carbon fiber and has all sorts of openings (for weight i would guess). the clay and dirt get pushed up from underneath so just want to keep the esc safe.

I would think low weight placement/center of gravity would be important in oval? Perhaps make a shield with a piece of lexan under the ESC to cover some of the gaps and protect it?

Dirt isn't going to hurt the esc. I agree with Dave H, mount it low to keep the CoG low.

The last two replies are what I'm thinking. Tell us what car it is or post a pic. You will get better answers.
