If the F60 body has not enough room at the side to place the esc at the side this would be the best way i think.
Your car should be well balanced with the pitszu's as they are great tires.
The downside is, you have to run Ride tires at the ETS and that is a whole different ballgame.
Front and rear you have to use the same hardness of the tires.
Only thing you can do if allowed is use hard inserts at the front and soft at the rear.
Perhaps you can mount the battery like the F103?
This will free up even more room to place the electronics to the rear.

The Rides aren't the same hardness F-R... they may both say H1 on them, but believe me the rears are much stickier than the fronts. I know as we have to use the same tyres for TITC, and they really aren't too bad, but the wheels to warp after some hits.
