| Relocating the electronics?
Hello. Now that I've fixed my esc issues, I can finally install the interior to my wraith. I thought about placing the esc to the front, where the radiobox used to be, the battery to the front (behind the dash) and my radiobox to the rear end. I have some problems with the radiobox and the battery placement, does anyone have some tips for me, or pictures from their electronics? |

This will be a good start. Wraith Electronics Tray ditched the box and cut the battery tray down. It mounts perfect with the tray mount.

Sadly, I don't think the tray is an option, since the shipping would cost 40 dollars to Finland Any ideas how the battery tray could be mounted without the electronics tray thingy? |

Ouch! You could make a tray from styrene. They (CI) use the mount holes for the box and turned on it's side the battery tray mounting hole lines up just right. But it needs a little more support than the one screw. I don't think you would be able to use a heavy battery.

I'll see what I can do next weekend, when I'll install the interior. Any ideas on the rear radio box? |

Anyone got pics how the radio box would be mounted in the rear, or how to esc would be mounted behind the seats?

This is how I did mine. I used an electronics box from radio shack.

the batt will stay in the spot behind the dash without any mounts. a standard size 2 cell fits nice and tight and the hood holds it from coming out. I had mine that way for over a month. but honestly, I didn't see the big differance moving the batt up front. if u have enuf weight in the frt wheels, it crawls just fine in the stock location. I moved all my stuff back to factory locations. it was more of a hastle than what it was worth. |

I Moved my esc to the rear and a 2s 2200 fits in the spot where the esc was before. I haven't moved to radio box yet, but will soon. I want to close off the rear with a deck lid, so I can put scale accessories on there. The only thing I had to do was cut a small portion if the radio box lid, so it was flush with the bottom. I also routed the switch to the driver side and attached it to the battery tray. No pics at the moment but I can snap a few if you like.
