Design Features

Unlike the SRX, the Traxxas chassis does not have enough space beneath the upper plate to place the VESC, so it must be mounted on top of the plate.

Since there is no dedicated space for cable management, cables should be routed beneath the plate while ensuring they do not interfere with or cause friction against the center drive shaft.

This post shares the upper plate design for mounting an Orin NX and VESC on the Traxxas chassis. Care should be taken to avoid interference with the center drive shaft when routing cables.
