| Re: battery, esc and Rx up front ?
I have everything mounted up front and also have a chassis mounted servo up there too. I can fit up to a 3s 2600 battery. I run a standard spectrum rx and a tekin rspro esc so no small electronics. Its tight but it all fits. I use an aluminum plate i found on ebay and i trimmed some of the interior as well as cut all the wiring to exact lengths to save space and clean it up

I had mine set up like that for a while, but I like to tinker to much and servicing things became impossible. I ended up giving up on the scale look and just stuck the ESC in the passenger seat. Perfect.

I have all kinds of junk under my hood. -4000Mah 3s Lipo -Holmes BR-XL / Axial AE-2 Have both been there at one point. -Futaba R204GF-E Receiver -CC BEC -Cheap HobbyKing BEC running the lights -HeyOK Switch -All the plugs for all the lights! I put my ESC between the shock towers and made a Lexan shelf for the RX to sit right above it. It's tight but if you take your time you can make a bunch of stuff fit. |

| Re: battery, esc and Rx up front ?
It is possible it all depends on the size of the battery though. I have just compacted mine to save room for a servo winch if I need it, but there is room to mount the RX up front also. This is on my scaleready chassis but space is very similar to stock wraith chassis. Pic of RX8 and Turnigy nanotech 2200mah mounted behind the dash with inner fenders installed. |

Mines a bit different.My ESC is all the way to the driver side up and under the dash at the drivers feet.I didn't cut any of the interior out or anything. Let me know if you'd like to see any different angles or any thing. |
