Welcome! I see you made your way over from the Traxxas forums!

Like we talked about already, much of how it will be set up is dependent on which batteries you get. A set of 2s Lipos from Maxamps will fit in between the dirtguards if you put them on a platform so they clear the screw nibs. The 6Ah or 8Ah packs should give you tons of runtime.

The motor only has one place to go, so that's pretty easy. Because the steering servo horn sticks up, you'll probably have to come up with some type of new top plate.

Once you know where your battery will fit, it's just a matter of finding convenient spots for the receiver and ESC.

You'll find that the Mamba Max ESC is probably by far the best value. You can either use one of the optional Mamba Max motors (I'd suggest the 4600 on 3s lipo or the 5700 on 2s lipo) or another similar size motor from another manufacturer.
