Default Failsafe mounting position

I ordered a duratrax failsafe today after switching to the foc on the advice of people from this forum (thanks). Anyhow, I was thinking of mounting the failsafe neatly inside the receiver box instead of on the outside. Does anyone see a problem with this? Am I gonna have to access it on a daily basis after setup? Thanks.

Nope. Put it where the Optidrive was and let it do its thing

It should fit in the receiver box depending on how big it is? Why will need to have access to it on a daily basis? Once you have it set the way you want you don't have to touch it again. I have mine set so it applies light to medium brake so it comes to a stop without flipping.

It's a tmaxx 3.3. Looks like i'll go with putting neatly inside the receiver box since the optidrives out and I have a cover for it from the foc kit. THANKS ALL!!!!
