Oh yeah, that sounds way cool. I gotta look through your posts and find a picture of that!

I do like trays also and if I can get some that fit really good it will look great! Might even be able to design them so the mount holes are right with the strap support rods and I can still use both. Just run the bolt from the bottom up through the tray and into the support rod for the aluminum stock Lightning strap.

Oh yeah. Time to draw up a tray this weekend.

I don't think that I have any pictures posted, yet. But I will take a couple this weekend. My trays are oversized so I can fit the esc on one tray and the receiver on the other. They work very nice.

Yeah that would be great if you could snap some pics, thank you! I was actually thinking about doing the same thing and having a spot to mount the ESC on one of them.

Sweet! I look forward to seeing them.

I just updated my G3R thread to include pictures of the lipo trays.

I'm sure Mike could make something similar that would work for your truck. BTW your truck looks AWESOME!

Oh Man!! Thanks for the updates and the pics. Your truck looks great and I love those trays. That is exactly what I need for my truck. Is the ESC the same width as the tray or does it hang over a bit towards the center of the truck? I will have to see if I have that much width on each side of the Lightning to do something similar.

Could you give me the two screw hole length dimension under the chassis where you have the trays mounted and the width of them?? I want to know how close it is to the battery strap posts on the Lightning. I really like how those have trays for the RX and the ESC. I bet Mike still has that job saved so maybe he could make a couple more if they are the right size.

Thanks for the compliment on my rig....

I'll have to measure the trays and MMM tonight when I get home. I believe the MMM is slightly more narrow than the tray. Mike made the trays without screw holes, so I was able to align everything exactly the way that I wanted. That would be cool if my trays would work for you, but I would have to imagine that Mike can make the trays any way that you want. I look forward to seeing the new lighting all finished!
