Steveo, the biggest problem with best locating everything is the Kyosho receiver/radio box and the servo tray. With my first build, I kept the radio box and servo tray intact because I used a receiver batter pack, and I used a servo for the disc brakes. That left little room for the 4S Lipoly battery, which I had to angle into the little spot where the fuel tank was, in front of the motor.

Ditch the radio box, let the brushless motor do the braking work, and then there's much more room for the battery!

For my car, I used:

3700maH 4S1P Lipo battery
Feigao XL 5T motor
9920BK esc

and it was an absolute HANDFUL to drive - the tires had no chance of any controllable traction with full throttle - constant drifting, sliding, donuts and looping all over the place - of course, that was great because I built the car for crazy parking lot bashing. It would have been too much for racing; I don't really have enough skill, I guess, to control it that well - yet!

Oops, I forgot; the mounts - I used "can clamp" mounts (2) which came from Fine Design.
