This is my install - as I ran it at Taplow. It took an TC racer with OCD to figure it out for me cos he hated the long motor wires.
It might look a little bit unconventional for a buggy - but hey, 3 years ago most of us thought the motor looked weird when that was placed in front of the rear axles and now look at us 
Not only does it allow the wiring to be a little neater, it also gives a little bit more space laterally because the front of the chassis is narrowed slightly by the front bulkhead / servo mount brace and it's tricky to fit the castle MMP and the Spektrum receiver side by side although even that is possible as my 2nd photo will hopefully demonstrate. I took this on during the initial build to show that the MMP would fit underneath the bodyshell - even with the fan installed.
Anyway - hope this helps.

Did CJ do this... I know he hates long wires, and the all black is a hint. Still remember being chastised about having power wires going over the top deck in my TC (oh the horror!)
Have improved since mind, Mamba/BEC/Spek micro&6040 all fit (just) in the latest one, and neat(ish). He'd be proud
22 install does look neat though
