I have a 501x worlds edition which I am trying to fit my electrics in. I have losi xcelorin speedo, micro spektrum rx, and a futaba s9550 servo. I cant seem to find anywhere for the speedo. It catches the steerring linkage if it goes in front of the motor, too big behind the motor, and if i place it behind the servo, I have no access to the lower motor screw. I have thought about a different size spur gear, but surely this is a bit of a sacrifice to install the electrics.... help?

I am sorry but tha speedo you have got is way to big for the x501. The ones I have seen all have lrps and the heatsink is modified so the slipper axel can fit over it. The esc is then located right underneath the slipper axel so the motor can be adjusted without removing the speedo.

Hello mate there are two TRF501X's at my club both use Excelorin behind the servo we just put it on with velcro to allow access to the motor screw.

Cheers

I had thought of that, but I feel it wont be all that secure when going through the rigours of outdoor off roading.
Thanks anyway.
