That's exactly why I want to put it there. That and a little protection.
Don't the 22 guys pretty much have to run their ESC's up top?
Hell, my XX-CR has a Tekin mounted on the rear shock tower.

This is not a losi, lol. I think the losi has a lower CG, right? And it is probably designed to have it up high.

Damn, I guess I should rip all the TLR stickers off the body then.
Even better, add some and print the word GRAPHITE on the face of my lower arms.

THe 22's do run esc above the battery but the chassis is very narrow and all the weight of the car is inline. If you did that on a b4 I think you would have to throw the RX up there too and then with the fat chassis not sure how it would drive. Let us know.

I'm such a bad driver I wouldn't know the difference. And I haven't even had this car off the bench yet.

Eureka! The diff was too loose. I tightened it about 5/8 of a turn and BAM - the slipper works the way it's supposed to now.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Sell it and buy a real motor.

But if you keep it.
try 31/69 or 32/72

They only have 2400kv so they like to be geared a little high
