Bitties5Deuce G6 Budget(ish) build

[Bitties5Deuce]

So I just bought my first scaler kit and I decided to go with the Axial G6 kit. My fiancé and I own a 1:1 JKU as a daily driver that's lifted on 37's so naturally I went for a jeep. I actually bought an Axial JKU kit as well for her birthday so she could join me. After-all our JKU is technically her DD. Lol
So I figured I'd do a build write up. My intentions weren't to go Vanquish crazy or expensive electronics. I do however want it to look cool and still perform well. So enjoy and of course any tips, tricks or general "Looks BA!" Comments are appreciated.

Sorry I haven't updated or posted pics I've been outta town working. But I have made a bit of progress.
First I made a battery/esc tray for the front out of some plexi. I used two servo mounts with a small notch cut in them in order to wrap over frame rail at the front of the tray. And I used two of the stock battery tray posts to mount it at rear of the crossmember by the shock tower.

Second I mounted my receiver box on my rear crossmember which is flipped and moved forward.

Next I modified the stock running board/rocker guards. They looked quite ridiculous sticking way out so I just simply softened the plastic posts with a lighter and bent them in order for the boards to ride a little tighter to the body. I think they look sweet and it cost me $0 and 5 minutes of my time.
