TLR 22X-4 Electronics Install

I picked up a new Rotor Ron built Trinity Revtech X-Factor 13.5 motor for my 22X-4 build.

New Rotor Ron 13.5 X-Factor!


Installed in chassis

Electronics layout mock up

The chassis brace design includes a spot to pass the ESC lead over to the receiver under the front drive shaft.  But, it's just big enough to pass only 1 wire through it.  I would have designed it to be at least 2 times wider than the connector so that you could pass more than 1 lead through.  I need to pass the wires for the ESC, motor fan, and motor temperature sensor under the front drive shaft to the receiver.  Luckily there was a spot between the end of the carbon front chassis brace and the center diff mount to pass some wire through!  I cut a piece of lexan the same width of the chassis brace, drilled a mounting hole in one end and the other end is held in place by the underside of the center diff mount!  Nice!
