Here are some updated underbody shots. You can see I soldered the BEC input directly to the board of the Sidewinder. I think it's a cleaner install than having it soldered to the battery plug. Doing it that way voids the ESC warranty, but since it's an inexpensive ESC and a low demand setup I'm not too worried about frying it. Other things that have changed: installed the spur gear cover, and added another strap for the battery tray.
I've been starting to think about switching to a sensored setup. The sensorless setup has been working great, but I want even more low-speed control. Looking at the MMP 1-cell (since I don't need the fan and internal BEC) and a 25.5T motor with 14mm rotor (Novak Ballistic Crawler, or Team Epic D3 Crawler). I really wish Castle would come out with an offering for crawlers/scalers. A low kv, sensored 1410 would be perfect, or even a sensored outrunner.
