Default am i heading for a disaster

i was wondering if the way i am mounting my electronics is a glitch waiting to happen.
i mounted the esc under the bottom frame, i mounted the medusa bec under the battery holder, and i dont know where to mount the ferril ring. i like the look of the way i mounted things because i'm able to conceal wires. i have included some pics.

thanks.

Default RE: am i heading for a disaster

Yes, I see your consern for glitching. Some folks have reported gitch free opperation with mounting arangements with their ESC wires close to the receiver or battery wires, but why take a risk if it's not necessary?
My ESC is on the frame plate up front, batt. above that and I have no heat issues, even with the heat sink facing the two.
All vents are cut out of the plastic canopy and the EagleTree records 92 peak -on a 32 degree day. So the only time I'ld come close to the 140 mark is on a 100 degree day. I'm running the Align 35X with 6V for an internal BEC, so I'ld think where your running a sepperate BEC that your temp.s would stand to be even lower.
As far as a ferrite ring goes you would want close to the receiver, thinking of it as a choke for RF noise emitted from the motor, ESC ,and batt. wires.
Also try to isollate the BEC receiver wire from running along side any of the RF noise contributers.
