All good, but the fan on the speedo is not going to be doing anything for colling positioned there.

The fan needs to blow air across the fins if you cant place it on top. Move the fan in front of the speedo so that it will blow the air across the fins, even if the cables are in the way, some air movement is better than none.

Hope this helps.

Better still mount the whole esc on its side with the fan correctly positioned over the fins!
Or ditch the fan completely like I have (at your own risk of course!!) :)

Well, in this position, with my 8.5T motor, absolutly no heat from the ESC, so...
If I change something, I'll put the fan in front of the esc :)
