A ways back I found out the servo in the pics is a Spektrum S6040. The Spektrum micro receiver looks like it barely fits in the gap. It will be interesting to see if there is enough room to stand a larger receiver (or one that isnt as rectangar) to stand on end without hitting the body.

AE
I just measured the area behind the servo (Spektrun 6040) to the battery brace of my 22 in rear engine configuration and found the following dimensions:
For/Aft (servo to battery brace): 28mm
Side to side (flat portion of chassis): 56.5mm
Height of chassis plate to body: 40mm
So the area to mount reciever/transponder etc. is 28L x 56.5W x 40H
The front windshield starts pretty far forward so height over this area is adequate.
Speedo Tray mount Dimensions (Over Battery) in Rear Engine Configuration:
38mm L x 43mm W x 37mm H
Hope this helps!

So, it sounds like a standard Spektrum SR3000 DSM 3-Channel Receiver might not fit then....or just barely.

Exactly...it is just so funny how people try to tear down something that is new and say they stole the ideas. I mean....what is the same with the mid motor with X-Factory?....the four gear tranny?, that has to happen in order to run a mid motor car..it's physics (side note, who cares about the mid motor...we live in the USA not the UK) The big bores are basically a slimmed down version of the Losi Eight shocks not the Yokomo big bores....
And of coarse ideas from other companies get incorporated in some way or another, that is just how things work and how our hobby progresses. Look at the all the forward cab bodies on the market now....started with the Losi truggy that Dyno designed....it all comes around in some form or another.

I know Durango didn't invent the aluminum chassis (we can probably let AE have that one) and I know Yokomo didn't invent the larger bore shock bodies (we can probably give that one to the 1/8 scale world). But they did introduce (or re-introduce) the concepts back into 1/10 scale recently.
I'm a fan of Losi, have been since the 80's. I'm glad they are getting something new out in 1/10 off-road. I was merely pointing out that they put a nice package together incorporating some of the recent trends. It wasn't a slam or an accusation that they "stole" ideas or technologies.
Sorry some of you are so sensitive.

New car looks Awesome Todd(and TLR crew)! Glad to see "Team" and "Racing" back in Team Losi Racing!
The gas stuff has been doing very well, but Electric is where the drivers and heritage are and have been all along.
