Default High sided B44 shell

I am looking for a high sided B44 shell as my gtb speedo is quite high & would like a bit more room around the fan
Anyone got any suggestions as to what the best 1 on the market is?
I have put the electrics in like this, would i be better served with the esc behind the servo? have left the motor wires long just in case i need to move it
Any advice much appreciated
Cheers
Gainsy

Exotek MAKO 44 - designed especially for more room in the B44, it is what I run myself.....

Go with the layout carl & branston have suggested and the standard shell will be fine

Exotek Mako 44 shell, I have one, and it is PERFECT for fitting everything in.

Plus at the recent waterlogged Silverstone event, my car got no water inside after each run.

DMS sell them, and I have to say very good/quick service.

Once you have moved the esc, make sure the power wire is man enough for the job.

It looks like its much lower gauge on the positive battery side? That wont help.

I use the JC Punisher shell and have loads of room, plus you don't have two potentially hot things right next to each other...

Cheers, the wire is the same all round, just looks like that in the picture
