Default 4WD Slash esc mounting troubles

I almost got the electronics mounted in my 4wd slash but where do i mount the speed controller?
These trucks are so weird to where everything is mounted.[:-]

either make a new plate or get the STRC mounting plate that uses the stock ESC mounting screws. The STRC piece is really nice.

i used the two holes behind the front shock tower to relocate the reciever and made a plate out of some thin plastic and mounted it slightly forward of the stock esc location and secured the esc with high strenght3m double side tape. you will have to trim the rec box inlet to clear the battery hold down but it is a nice fit when finished.
