There are special mounts for MM, MMM and other esc's. I will make a picture and will post that tomorrow (it is dark at this moment and i do not want to make a picture using the flash).

We prefer the MGM compro ESC's. MGM compro's are made in Europe service and contacts are direct. Also waterproof what is a big advantage for the 'real offroad' work. We test MGM compro Z-series and give MGM compro feedback. Feedback on all data collected with the blackbox and experience as drivers we gather by running on several tracks. The Dvorsky's are taking notice of this and improve the firmware of the esc's with this information. Problems are solved in a few day's. This gives a good feeling. It is for this reason why we only run MGM compro's at this moment. Although we are not 'married' with MGM compro. If there is something interesting new and good we will test and if it is better we will use it.
We have tested a few MMM v2 version (10 exactly...) 6 of them got 'killed' very quickly
(same type of problems as posted by others in treaths on this forum). Later I 'modded' the 4 that where still alive (fan taken of and BEC dissambled) and they work good so far for the boys that we gave these. Although a esc should work directly good and mods should not be needed... Might be that I will try a V3 version in january. I follow the information others post. One of our drivers tested a new Xceleron of Losi but it is not an improvement... (understatement). I hope and expect that Tekin will enter the 1:8 market with a real good ESC. Time will tell. The more good ones there are on the market the better it is for the hobby.

We also run medusa afterburners v2 now with impressive results. The 70 and 80 mm versions (although it are prototypes we received) do a real good job at the truggies.

I will post a picture of the battery tray also tomorrow. We use a special padtype used also in the 1:1 car industrie on the chassis. It absorbes shocks, protects and prevents lipo's from moving/sliding. I do not know the english name for the pad. Might be that people will recognise them by looking at the picture.
