2 - Do you think I should get a UBEC as well for the 4S A123? I was going to try the BEC in the MM - but I know I've read a lot that the MM BEC gets hot even on 3S LiPo.

I typically just use some velocro on the chassis and the pack, then strap it down with a gorilla maxx strap. I havent had any issues with it yet. If it were lipo I would make some sort of box out of Carbon Fiber angle stock or aluminum or plastic to protect the cells more.
Yes, use a UBEC for sure. A cheapo will due just fine for this small truck. Just get a $15 one from one of the flyer websites.
Sorry for the delayed response. I didnt catch that you asked a question at the bottom of the post.

I've always had very good luck with HiTec digital servos, and I am planning on making the jump to 75MHz FM to DSM2 when the Spectrum DX3R radio comes out this fall - so I wanted something solid that I could run at a higher frame rate.

I'm using the same one. Just ordered it a few days ago. Should be here soon. On the plus side the CRT.5 showed up yesterday. (grin)
