Team Orion Vortex R10 / R8 ESC mount for Traxxas Slash

thingiverse

Hi, This is a custom mount for my Team Orion Vortex R10 ESC / speed controller installed on a standard Traxxas Slash frame. A friend's suggestion inspired this approach. The mount will firmly press down the ESC once it's securely attached to the rc car's frame. It utilizes the same mounting holes as the stock Traxxas ESC (Velineon VXL-3S), ensuring compatibility with any vehicle employing this standard ESC. Since all Vortex-series ESCs share the same size, this mount should function without modification to the files. To install, simply slide the mount over the ESC from the side, then rotate it and position it correctly over the ESC (you'll figure it out). I've uploaded a .ipt file so you can adjust the dimensions of the mount. Check sketch 1 for width and length settings, as well as the extrusions for height when opened in Autodesk Inventor. After making changes, be sure to center the XZ- and YZ-workplanes to ensure the parts pressing down the ESC are properly connected. Designed using Autodesk Inventor Pro 2018
