I got this delivery in the mail today from War Pig. He has been making winch spools for servo winches for awhile now but he finally got around to making Futaba version (much to my liking)! The machining quality on these is very high. I am impressed. Maybe I can get him to post up some more info on them later. These are two different sizes.  |

Glad to hear you got them Josh. Figured I'd send two widths and let you choose which one would work for you. I just sent a batch to Norm at Team3six, he will be selling both the Hitec and Futaba spools. Not too bad for a 40 year old lathe and a machinist that has no idea what he's doing  .

| Re: Harley's Wraith - *New VP Disc Brake and Calipers!* Time to do some WIRING!  While staring at the rig tonight I came up with a plan... I decided to run a "false panel" behind the seats to hide the wiring. So here is the progress from tonight. First, I copied the existing panel Jerry made. Then drilled it so that the tops were level.   This creates a cavity behind the panel for me to run all my wires out of sight since the side panels hide the gap.  |

Then I started laying out the electronics, marked and drilled some holes.  Then I had another idea... Anyone know what these are?   I separated the wires on the BEC Pro so I could run the wires more cleanly.  |

BEC Pro in place and wires routed.   Some more tracing.  AND hacking.  |

Mount the panel up to test fit with the electronics in place.  Top deck in place.   |

A little trimming on the interior and everything tucks away nice and clean.  With the RX backwards, it allows the seat to go back further since the wires don't have to have room to stick out.  Here is a mock up of the under hood area.  |

Look like the little rubber pieces that come with servos? If so, best use of stuff I always throw away I've seen. Kudos Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose |

That has got to be the cleanest "under hood" setup I've seen. Great job on that!
