I see why Ben had the EDF wires coming out at the top of the former, its to avoid the ESC disrupting the airflow. As I have mind coming out the bottom the ESC is in the airflow coming from the intake. I am not sure if this will have an adverse effect but its too late to change it and at least the ESC will get plenty of cooling. I'll place it upright like this to minimize the airflow disruption.

BTW both the ESC and EDF that I ended up ordering had 3.5mm bullet connectors. The ESC has a XT60 connector to the battery but I will
need a battery extension lead so will order one today and will pick one with a thick wire gauge like 10svg and around 6 in long.
