Show me your Gold Pan electronics layouts

I suppose I should posts pics of what I ended up doing. Away for the weekend, I'll do it early next week.

Here's what I ended up going with --



Battery just fits...




With the body on I can reach beside the rear shock with the eraser end of a pencil to turn it on/off

Here's my layout:

My cheap brushed setup:









It's amazing just how awesome an old modified brushed motor can be with a stout Lipo pack!

Here's my Worlds car...
TLR22 rear battery tray w/ESC mounted on shelf and receiver in bulkhead.

ESCs on the right and receivers on the left, or receivers on the shock tower to a lesser extent, just look.... wrong. No particular reason, they just shouldn't be that way lol

Bringing this thread back. Any updated pics? I'm trying to place the electronics and having trouble with the body fitting. I have a castle ESC where the wires from the motor mount on the top. Trying to find a way to move things around. Thinking of turning the battery left to right instead of front to back. Any issues if the battery is not centered? Picked up a shortly lipo from SMC. Can I mount the esc on the shock brace?

Check out mine. I had the same issue with my castle esc. Weight seems better balanced now as a result anyways.

Thanks for the link. Below is how mine is currently sitting. Would I be better off centering the battery for weight distribution or am I over thinking this?

Definitely center the battery. Being offset will make it heavy on that one side. I had to drill 4 small holes on mine.

MK-Zero has some cool battery cups to keep from having to drill the chassis...

Nice, I like those. Gonna have to get me some.

[smahoney1]

Thanks for the help. I'll take your advise and rearrange so the battery is centered.

With the new 2.4ghz radios do I still need to run the antenna or can it be tucked away under the body?

[yellowdatsun]

If you aren't going far, like at a track, it can just be tucked under the body, rolled up, or whatever. None of my cars have an antennae anymore.
