Kind of surprised I didn't find something like this already. Working on a simple plate to make aftermarket escs easily removable. Plate attaches to ESC with double sided tape and/or optional zip tie and plate screws into the receiver box lid or center of the chassis.

Dimensions need a little adjusting so I won't post the files yet but here is one I made real quick with 2 colors using Z hop trick. First printed the Hobbywing logo in black, then leave it on the print glass and print the mount on top of it. The mount has a cut out in shape of the logo in it and so with Z hop it lifts the nozzle over the printed black letters and fills in the areas around it and after 2 layers it continues to print as normal.

Looks clean! I like it ?
 
Cool! I'm guessing you still change the filament for the color change?
Yeah manual filament change. The logo takes only 1-2 minutes and when it's done I keep the bed at temp while I swap in a new spool and manual prime until the previous color is cleared then start the second print job for the plate portion. It's kinda jank but it works lol
 
So fitment is pretty good so attaching files now, I will also put them up on thingiverse. In the zip file there are multiple files:
  • center of chassis mount (no logos)
  • center of chassis mount (with arrma logos)
  • receiver box mount (no logos)
  • receiver box mount (with arrma logos)
  • arrma logo by itself (if you want to attempt to print a filled void with one of the logo'd options like I did)
Because of the placement of the receiver box right next to the servo the centered mount version doesn't fit quite right so the receiver box mount files are offset just a few millimeters to clear it. Also some like logos, some don't care, so I have versions of both with and without logos.

This was my last test last night with filled void to make sure fitment was good and I think it came out pretty well!

This is an awesome file.

I printed one and needed the zip tie tabs on the other edges.

Some quick edits and I was able to make this for use with the hobbywing esc I am installing. (y) The source files are in great condition which made the edits easy ;)

Great work @suchtragedy and many thanks!!!

Clicked on the link do you have dimensions for this
 
Load the model in your slicer and you can check the dimensions there. Not sure which version you are looking at but one version is about 60x55.5mm and the other is 50x50.5mm
