so i had some time tonight and was able to make a little progress. the stock rampage rx box was perfect size to fit both my reciever and hydra esc. i mounted a 40mm fan on each side of the box blowing on the aluminum pipes of the esc. i think this will cool it sufficiently. the large hole where the motor leads exit should provide escape for warm air as the fans cool the esc. if it doesnt work, back to the drawing board. the esc is mounted securely inside and i could even waterproof the box with a little more work. also put 8mm bullets on esc wires.

next i am going to build a large top plate that combines the front and center top plates into one plate. this will help reduce chassis flex and will be the mounting place for this rx box. the brake and steering servo wires will just run in through one of the holes in the box. i like this configuration as it will look nice and clean when all is said and done.

just a question - why does the hydra esc not have a power switch? it only has the connector for the rx but that is it. there is no switch at all. is it supposed to be like this?
