Thanks guys....

I'm running FMA Scorpions...two of them...making it 4s. They are only 3200's.

Fine Design inspired me to undertake the project. I bought the motor mount and battery brace from them. The layout is my own idea to balance the weight a bit. I was a bit nervous when I took a dremmel to my brand new CRT but I really think cutting up that radio tray opens up a world of layout options. It does get a bit more rats nesty when the LiPo's are in there but overall I think it's a clean layout. The UBEC is mounted on a little shelf I made out of an old wing...since the picture I added another piece of the wing under the rear driveshaft to hold down the motor wires. I doubt they can/would move but this way it's extra protection. I've also switched to a Fine Design Clutch Bell conversion until I can order some of those hardened pinions from Mike. The spur ate a standard pinion in one run.

I'm really itching to take it out...tomorrow AM...I can't wait. Of course with two more weeks on our points series I hope I can adjust to the changes quickly. Something tells me this truck will be everything my E-LSP was and then some...

I'll report in after the race tomorrow.
