Thanks!

I finally got a pair of br-minis stuffed in this thing. Still need to find a smaller RX; currently have a FlySky 8 channel but only using 4 of them. After doing that, I got my inside skins mounted! They look great, REALLY! I need a better camera.



Sucks though... I finally got it "done" and it's raining today.

You might think about a different location for that battery. Its pretty high up and exposed to damage . Hate to see the truck go up in flames if it hits a rock an shorts the cells out

It would have to be upside down to hit anything. The tires are higher than it is, as well. I've tried a few other spots but, my batteries are just too big. I may need to find some 3-500mah batteries. We'll see how it goes.

I wouldn't run anything smaller than 850mah. Two typical locations for a battery are on the front axle with a custom mount or behind the motor mount which a few vendors here make. I run mine of off the motor battery mount and it's a 4s 850mah. Doesn't seem to get in the way or damaged at all.

The location it is now if you flipped over or rolled down a hill a rock could really hit it hard.
