Ok guys! I got it all pretty much done tonight besides the motor mount. The motor mount I will make of 16 gauge steel and will be mounted directly above the rear shocks. I will do that when the motor comes.

The Battery trays I made of AE Part No. 6334 "Battery Cups". They allow you do do any desired length on your chassis, and then strap at both ends, so I can use a 7 cell hump pack later if I wish to. I attatched those to cutout sheets of plastic, and finally attatched the plastic to the chassis however I could. I put weather stripping covering up the screws in the battery trays to help from the sharpness and stiffness of it hitting the packs.

For the ESC, RX, and UBEC. I basically cut out plastic, heat it up, and bent it a few times over. This mounts above the front shocks on 3 screws. The ESC will be as shown in pics, RX in the front part, and the UBEC probably on the same plate as the esc, depending on how big it is.

I am fairly confident in this setup, I just hope the plastic doesn't snap on any of the mounts. If it does, I may have to replace with lexan or some sort of metal.

Please let me know what you think of what I have done here tonight. I haven't seen anything like it on the forums, so either it has a weakness I dont know about, or I am just too clever! :027: hahaha

Anyway, onto the pics.
