The esc will fit right next to motor on the rear pod. There will just be battery leads and a servo harness heading forward. Toss in a Spectrum Micro RX and a mini micro servo and will have the recipe for a 15-16ou race car. Wear and tear on the tires and body will be reduced due to the lack of wieght. Overall equipment needed at the track will be reduced to a charger, power supply, tools, tires and a can of sauce. Talk about cutting the cost of racing? We'd spend more in the vending machine then on the race car. I think that this is out of the box thinking that with the right support, could mold a new future for 12th scale.
