Used SSD M3 bent links and went with the outside mount.

Moved the screw in on my servo horn so it runs parallel. Gives the servo better resolution and holding power.

Shortened all the wire to minimal lengths and soldered the esc's power wires together within 1". Also turned all the 14ga wire to 16ga. I saved about 10g by removing excess wire and running 16ga.

Hey UGLY, why not mount Lipo where your receiver is?

The wp1080's are just too bulky for the lipo wires to go anywhere.

Also had to get rid of the mounting plate in the chassis but this moved my top esc down lower and allowed me to run the upper links on the top hole so I could clock my motors more.
I have the same ESCs. Can you show me some pics please? I want to shrink them too

I have opened it. But everything is filled with something like a glue. For the waterproof I suppose. I can't remove this... all the circuit board and the case is glued :(

Pics please

The resin is the waterproofing poured around the electronics to keep them sealed. I'm guessing it was poured in the casing?
