May not bother most people, but it really did my head in on mine. I have the same speedo but with the small heat sink, and I mounted it so low it was touching the cells and the sensor wire went down in between the rear cell and the bulkhead, and the shell still wouldn't sit properly.
So I just put it up front. The Speedo does get a little bit warm even with the heatsink on, so didn't dare run it without one. lol

Hey Tel,
I think i just need to dremel a little bit more from around the spur gear cover mate. Its not touching any of the electrics but i took your advice about not cutting to the provided lines and so dremel a little at a time ! The Factory points for the body posts on the sides sem spot on but the front hole is a little too far forward i found ! This is just my spare shell i used to make sure that the electrics would fit anyway
Trimmed a little off the lipo brace at the front to make it easier to get the lipo out as theres a Rudebits weight underneath it which raises the lipo slightly. As for the heat issue, if it overheats ill have a rethink but im quietly confident it wont with sensible gearing.
I race along side Nick Gurnell quite a lot and thought similarly to you when i saw he never used a fan in his 4WD Durango ! To his credit he was right, its never thermalled once despite getting warm so im pretty confident that this shouldnt either !
See you Sunday dude
