Moving right along .. mounting the ESC's & more

For mounting my YGE Navy 155 ESC's I had two options, double sided tape or a more sophisticated "mount". I chose the latter which I CNC'd from 1.5mm CF sheet



Here I have epoxied it to the hull with the actual ESC's plate being easily removable.



I also epoxied in the battery plates. I have seen several ways of making these plates and I opted for the "velcro" approach so I CNC'd several slots on the side of the plate through which the velcro can pass. I also intend to treat the surface of the plate with some form of non slip material to make sure those big batteries don't move around!! You can also see in this picture the ESC's mount minus the ESC's
