Default ESC Location With LCG Dig Mount?

I'm looking to rewire and wondering where the guys who have a LCG dig mount place their esc. I don't have the mount yet but I want my esc out of the way when I do get it. What type of esc do you run and what dig servo. I've got a MMP with a MSX12 dig servo.

Thanks

I have heard that if you swap out the capacitor on the tekin RS it can do 4s. But i don't know for sure.

Jr 388 hv servo mounted perpendicular to the chassis right behind the motor. Tekin RS Pro still fit on the trimmed up stock mount behind it.

I have a Mamba Max Pro on the rear axle. I stuck it there since there was a mount for it....planned on moving it, but I actually like it on the rear axle. It does need some sort of guard though since it's a bit unprotected.

An older picture, but the RCBros servo mount is shown. With the servo mounted on the stock plate it puts most, if not all its weight on the axle, a better thing. When mounted on the links, the chassis bears some of the load, but its better protected by the body.

With the esc mounted on the links do the shocks ever hit it?

I'm running a Goat 3s, with a fan, in the same place as Eee Pee and the shocks do not touch it. As far as a guard goes, I consider that the job of the fan.

What's that got to do with anything??








I mounted my ESC on the stock ESC plate in the front. I run a RCBros dig relocation bracket with a Futaba MICRO servo in the back and the battery on the rear axle. I would rather puff a $40 battery than break the $140 ESC.

So for the guys who have run thier esc on the axle and on the links, did you notice any performance difference with either location?
