i am using NeuEnergy 5s 30c 5000mah. 2 of them. if i was just going to use the stock center top plate and not mounting anything to it i would cut off that side part where the stock brakes were. i am actually going to make my own center plate out of carbon fiber and make it large enough to mount the stock rx box where my esc will be. i will also have a little pulley mounted that will direct the cables from the integy disc brakes to the brake servo. this is my plan anyway. but of course sometimes things dont always go as planned when you start building. but i defintely want to mount my esc on top of the center diff so that it is between the motor and batteries. that way i wont have to run any wires that are too long. depending on how i cool things i may make a larger carbon rear top plate also to mount a water tank and pump on. as soon as i get my frickin motor mount back from CNC i will be able to really start on this. i dont want to do anything until i get the motor mounted and know exactly where it will be.
