Get in where you fit in!

It doesn't really matter which direction it faces as longas it's flat. Pick whatever way you find easiest to run the wires.

What pinion size is suitable for stock 50 spur or should I changed that out also. I’m Running 15 pinion now basher only occasional street dun nothing major

Different rig but this is how I mounted mine.

15T should fine but I think you can probably afford to bump up to at least a 17T. I run a 17T in mine with buggy tires and it it barely gets above 80F and that’s full speed passes 50-60 yards back to back to back. It’s cooler here and you’re running the 2.8’s but I don’t think you’ll have a problem either way.

What type of tape is that you use

Side note on the MMX though, take the tape off the bottom and clean with alcohol before taping it down. That sticker is really slick and tape doesn’t want to stick to it.

Ah, I can’t rememebr TBH, it’s a servo tape I bought from my LHS. Gorilla 2 sided works well to though. I also have a zip tie running over the heatsink and down under the ESC mounting plate.

Edit-
Here it is.

Personally, I really like VHB tape. It's super strong and a little flexible. It can be a little pricey but a roll goes a long way. It also releases clean and doesn't tear in half like foam tape... if you can get it to let go.

In a pinch you can go to an auto parts store and get the 3m side molding tape. That stuff is pretty strong as well.

Thanks your wire job is nice

3m molding tape is all I use.

This is how I mounted my MM2.
