X11 pred esc

[Mr Satchell]

What esc are you all running in your x11. There's no room for anything

If you have a low profile servo and small footprint ESC & receiver you'll be fine, if not you will need to get creative.

I had a Tekin in mine, it was mounted on top of the full size servo with a fan next to it.

When Ellis was running the X11 he had a big Speed Passion ESC in there mounted on its side, no fan and the heat sink cut down to clear the prop - bigger electrics can be squeezed in there if you have the patience.

I thought about dropping a speed passion in there yesterday but gave up lol any pics of that installation ?

I did take some but Jimmy will have them, they may be in one of the BRCA national reports from 2010, maybe EPR? I think I did a little feature when he took the car on.

The Esc was on its side with the heat sink facing the prop. Ellis had cut a rounded 'channel' in the heat sink to clear the prop. The solder posts were naturally to the top.

Low profile servo next to the ESC, reciver up front.
