Just wondering where everyone is mounting their electronics and battery in a wreckluse. I have a 7 cell nicad battery and cannot figure out where to mount it. I'm trying to balance out the rig from left to right as much as possible. Also, I was thinking about mounting the esc by the motor and the receiver in the back tray. If you have any ideas or better yet pictures, I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I am not sure where you would put that pack in that chassis.
I know on the one I had I mounted the reciver,BEC,and ESC above the rear end and boxed it all in under the supplied rear pannel to hide it all.I then mounted a 3 cell lipo in the front .

Did you make a special tray for the front end? I was trying to use parts off of my old clod but it sure looks like I would have to go lipo.

i mounted my electronics in the rear end portion. i just made a plastic plate and zip-tied it in there..then put velcro in the bottom of the radio and esc and set them on the plate... i mountaed my stick pack just under the dash sideways on top of the stock axial battery plate i had laying around...put velcro in the plate and battery and thats that.
it works really good that way,, gets more weight up front and still keeps things even from right to left...if u need a pic i might be able to get one

I hope this works for you. its the best i could do without taking the body pan...off.

Thanks rccrawler. At first I was wondering how you fit your battery under there. Then I noticed that you had mirrored your trans. I was thinking about doing the whole interior thing so I might just go lipo. I also mounted my receiver in the back tray area but installed my esc opposite the motor.
