|  Front electronics box
Here's "da box" from the crawl space for anyone wondering what it looks like mounted. I can fit my Holmes Brxl, castle bec and spectrum 300 receiver and battery in it. The cross bar you see has to be replaced but I used a Dremel to make a little hole on each side of the box to replace it. Also used a Dremel to cut a little hole in the box to run the battery wires to the box. There is also a couple small braces that have to be cut off if you plan on running the cross bar with the box like I did. I'm currently running a proline rubicon body and it works great with this because the wiring and connectors from the box sit a little higher and so does the rubicon body instead of the stock hood which is pretty low and would be kinda tough to run a flat hinged hood IMO. The wiring is kind of a mess in the box because there isn't a whole lot of extra room but you don't see if anyway. All in all da box is great quality and fits perfect.  |

How is the material? It's ABS, right? Does it seem like it will hold up?

| Re: Front electronics box  I avoided any holes so I could keep the water out. Closed cell foam under a stock hinged hood fits nice & tight & keeps water out. I have an AE-2, 2000mah 2s, CC BEC, rx & servo aux adapter wiring under there & I have room left. Nice & tough. I would guess PVC as far as a material. |

I don't run in water so I didn't worry about a few holes.

Couldn't decide which way I wanted to go so I bought the front, rear and the lid. I'm basically putting the battery up front and the ESC and RX in the rear.

I left the cross brace out of mine which seem to get it down a little lower, then I just bolted it to the frame. It's solid as a rock.
