Or... You could do what I did, and hack up your stock roof and use it as your forward electronics tray.  It's cheap! LOL

Had some extra sheet metal lying around so I figured I would copy the Dinky Tray and make a housing for the Battery and RX Its tucks in really well with a bit of room to spare. There is enough room for the ESC and Battery, Just not sure if I can squeeze all 3 in there. The RX is Waterproof so it doesn't need a case which is good, maybe I will just mount the esc in the stock position and then keep the rest up front. Also working on a flip up hood for easy access.. Few Pics....just need to paint them up.       |
