Default Electronics and battery layout on LCG builds with forward motor mounts

Wondering what everyone’s layout is under the shell.

I’m building a Gspeed V3 with forward mounted motor, TGH duel servo mount, and Power Wagon cab. As far as I see the only option is to mount the battery on one slider and put the ESC and receiver on the other.

Is that basically the standard placement for everyone too? Any ideas on how to lock the battery in place?

Yeah that's standard for that setup.

Are you doing FMM for points?

More so just doing it because I think it looks cool and seems like I’ll get more performance with FMM.

Ah. Well here's an example of my electronics placement even though I don't have a forward motor mount setup.

ESC in FMM area, receiver on skid, then each slider got a battery (one for ESC and other for servo). I want to corner weigh it to see how close I am to even left and right balance. Since I don't have a FMM but did add a 850mah battery, I think the both of those are probably pretty close in weight (battery probably more). Thought I'd share anyway.

Visually it looks pretty well believed to me. What do you use to secure your batteries?

Hopefully, in my case, a 2000mAH pack on one side will balance out an ESC and receiver on the other... or at least close enough.

I use Gorilla adhesive tape but any strong adhesive tape will do, but I've seen people use Velcro as well.
