As far as fitting in todays cars. I run xray, Cuffs runs corally, and kinwald runs Losi. I know that none of us have anyprobablems getting the speed controller in the car.

Any of the top speed controls can win......and they all blow up.....LRP, Novak, Keyence, Tekin, KO, etc......
I've seen them all do well.....and I have seen them all blow up....mainly because a lot of the components used in them, are not techincally designed for the crazy extremes we put our equipment through......and the quality of the stuff used is actually very very high.......its tough to go and say hey....I need a fet, than withstand 120 amps, get about 200 degrees.....and oh, by the way....it may get chemicals spilled on them, get wired up backwards, get shorted out by a battery or motor, get subjected to extreme g forces....and sometimes may end up doing a reverse double barrel roll down the straight at 35 mph....and it needs to be the size of a m&m or smaller....
They use the best they can and it holds up for as long as it can......we are just really rough on our little cars....

Getting back to Brian, he has not even driven a G11pro and may not ever. The G11 is a done deal and we already know it is a great speedo. Brian has joined Tekin to help us design and test the next generation products. It may be a little while before we satisfy the dirtinator and a few other team members and you see it at a race.
I started a "The New Tekin" thread and would be happy to discuss all things Tekin over there.

thanks for the quick reply...but i'm more curious about KT's setup...
I run Xray and with the servo mounted lengthwise down the chassis it could get tight...
i was actually thinking of a similar setup to yours though but with the ESC running closer tothe belt with the receiver standing up ither in front of or beside the ESC...
I do like how the buttons are accessible from the top and the posts for the wires are spread out for a cleaner run of the wires...
I might have to give one a try...I would still very much like to see an install in an Xray first though...
