XRAY - Model racing cars

how do you all fit in your eletrics. its a tight squeeze on my 007 i have a staandard spectrum reciver and a small lrp runner speedo & futaba servo. i want to get all these in the car without stacking but its not looking possible the rx is too big, anyone running something similar could you explain how you get it all in a pic would be brilliant too. cheers

hi

i've got the standard spektrum reciever, a GM speedo and a standard size servo, the trick is to use a small speedo, i'll post a pic when i get home tonight

I'm using the standard spektrum Rx and a Novak GTS. Tight fit but I got it all on the chassis. I didn't install the antenna mount where the manual says to. That could free up some room for you.

take of the top deck when installing receiver and speedo so you can them as close to the belt without touching - make sure you can get the top deck back on!
dont use standard arieal mount location.
but if you've got a big speedo it probably wont fit??

The Novak GTS is pretty big compared to some speedo's so there isn't a lot of room. The program it I have to use a pocket knife or some thing really skinny to push the button. It's a pain but it works.

Another option would be mounting the Rx on it's side.

Also you can mount the Rx on the top of the servo. The Rx is relatively light (6-10g) so it wont raise your CG too much... That would give you a plenty of room to even fit in a brushless ESC.

great tips guys im going to give it a try when i get in bornracer a pic would be awesome, im trying to get it in without stacking the rx ontop of the servo looks too messy but last night that looked like the only way ill give it another go when i get in cheers

As you can see the car isn't very clean and the wires are a mess, but everything fits (just about) I tired to keep the CG as low as i could but still ended up putting the PT on top of the servo

The GM Speedo is tiny

well i managed to fit it all in removed the ariel location i had , i need to find somewhere else for it now or find another holder that has a thinner base cheers for the pic bornracer heres mine at the moment my servo wire has serious lenght on it im thinking shortening it but i havent got the bottle to attemot that was a pricey servo i'd be gutted if i mess it up

You may be able to mount the antenna mount using one of the holes in the top deck.

I used this system on my T2...

For additional space near your ESC you may also consider re-positioning your heatsink.

Yes it was the tires. I see how they would be useful. That video was good, looks like fun!

You can mount the antenna next to the servo. At least that is what I have done: . I have the LRP Sphere TC in the car and instead of the standard size receiver I have the mini Spektrum receiver in the car. As you can see it is possible to fit this gear onto the chassis on the left hand side without any problems.
