Mounting Seeking 180 into traxxas tray

[suzukipro]

I just bought a new Seeking ESC for a spartan build I'm doing and I could use some help from those of you that have already installed this ESC into the Spartan tray. Any info or pictures provided would be a great help to get me going.

Thanks,

I just used zip ties along with the holes/loops from the factory ESC. The front (motor side) has two holes that I ran one ziptie through (around the stuffing tube). I then ran a second through the hole on the ESC and through the loop created by the first ziptie. On the rear, I used two zipties. Both used the ESC hole and ran one for each side through the loops on the component tray. The picture may help.

Looks like this from the top. +{}<

Thanks for the help GTRihno24, I stacked 4 of the foam pads used for battery trays and drilled two holes in the bottom of the tray(my ESC is turned 90°) using zip ties to secure it. This set up seems pretty solid although my water cooling hoses will come in from the sides, I'll post pics when I get a chance.

Yeah, I've seen them mounted both ways. I'm just picky about hoses and wires being everywhere so I chose to mount it that way. If you look at my picture, you can see I ran the tube from one side of the ESC cooling plate under the tray to the other side. Not necessary, but keep things hidden.

Here is a post I did way back when. http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ng+turnigy+180
The original links to the pics got deleted, so they are added back in near the end of the post.
I have since added some tie straps to better secure the ESC, I found the velcro was not quite enough if you ditch it hard enough.
