Ok, here's a couple pictures of how it turned out - let me know what you think.

Looks great, how do you like the 4PK ???

Well . . . I guess I don't know yet! I've been working on these revisions to my XT8 and haven't gotten them all set up yet so I haven't driven with it yet. I will say it's an amazing controller from what I've studied so far, and I really like the feel of it in my hand. The quality is awesome - can't even tell you the difference in feel over my Spektrum.

Looks good. One question; why an external fan with the heli version neu? No matter what gears or tires I run in my heavy Muggy, I can't seem to get the finned neu (1515 2.5D) much over 160F.

True - however I dont' even like my motor over 150. I guess you could call me overly cautious. Besides, the fan doesn't use much energy so I figured what the heck. I might try running it without the fan though and see what kind of temps I get.

I would think the heli model would stay below 150 no problem, unless you have ridiculous gearing.

It's not too bad, but I do have to gear it up since it's 1100kv. Right now I'm running a 15t pinion and a 44t spur. I'll check the temps the next time I get it running. Although I'm sure it will stay nice and cool w/o a fan right now since it's below 60 degrees here.

Thanks Scott! Well, I actually just pulled the box off the shelf at my LHS. It was apparently RPM's version of the Associated GT2 reciever box. Ok, I just went to Tower and found it - here's the link:
