Yes, please do.
By the way, how are you laying out your components? I didn't like the plastic thing covering the majority of the front end so I made a new upper deck out of 1/16" 6061 Aluminum, which is meant to hold the Rx, steering servo, and ESC. The motor is in the back (obviously), and the batteries just in front of the motor. I still have to make the motor mount, but I think I have what I want to do in mind (thanks to the help here). After calculating the weights of the various parts, the truck should be right around 3.5 lbs (and that's being generous).
