There they are positioned more to the front of the car, where the bodyshell is lower. ... and thus the servohorn just slightly touches the bodyshell.

I would have gone for this solution myself.
A laydown servo can easely be mounted with the standard servo-mounts, just by drilling two new holes through the chassis. The ESC then can be mounted on top of the servo.

Also, as the reciver is now also in the front , there actually is an antenna-mount-position allready in the front of the car which was not used with the saddlepack-battery. Must have been an heritage from the old-style-preds.

But since I have a low-profile servo, there isn't much room on that servo to mount the ESC. So and receiver are velcro-taped on to the chassis. The standing up servo actually gives the easiest fitting fo all components.
Actually i m thinking to go to lay down servo as well ,
Servo + receiver parallel (ko low profile + spectrum sr3100 fit nicely) and as close as possible to the motor and my speedo (mamba) upfront. I think i have seen this layout somewhere in here in the past ( i think was niggs car or kevlee) and i believe it should be perfect.
