Mounting an ESC

I never cared much for the RPM ESC mounting plate. I always thought it was money thrown away for virtually nothing. This is due to the fact that the Velcro would quickly lose it's grip on the ESC after a few days of jumping because the ESC would wobble around while mounted in this fashion. I decided to make use of the slot at the back of the Stampede that's designed for the servo that powers the stock MSC. With most ESC's this slot is a perfect fit. On the back of the ESC I use Velcro on both the ESC and the chassis of the Stampede itself to prevent the ESC from flying out when it's being jumped. At the front of the ESC, on the chassis, I use a another piece of Velcro to help fill in the gap and cushion the ESC. I stick just the loop side of the Velcro on the chassis, as my goal here isn't to have it fasten at the front and I don't want any Velcro sticking to the front of my ESC.

There's enough room on the sides of the ESC to pass any wires that would be on the bottom, up beside the ESC and on to their necessary places. I then use wire tires to keep the wires from the ESC in a neat and orderly fashion. I makes it a little more difficult to adjust the ESC, but it's not very often that I have the need to adjust the ESC anyway.
