Thanks for all the encouragement guys! :)

I like the idea of a single sided battery pack. I had toyed with the idea of getting enough stuff to make a 14 or 16 cell pack to a single connection. Anyone tried that yet? So I may consider the single sided battery set up. I know that's the way I'd prefer the lipo when I go that way. I'm really excited about the whole thing. Hopfully I'll be able to get my motor and ESC soon. I'm going to start the strip down tonight. As a part of this, I also have RPM corners I'm adding along with Lunsford Ti hinge pins.
