Thank you for the clarification. The upper deck being dremeled like this seems to be fine. I usually don't even connect the rear screws in the deck to allow chassis flex for grip. The ESC would not fit due to losi's design. I wish they would just expand the design and make a version 2. The layout is great.

Needs a bit of wire refinement (both the servo and ESC wires are a little too long), and I'm still not happy with the motor wires, but can't figure out a way round that!

Where did you get a hold of the Black V3 Hobbywing? Looks like your sponsored by them, but even our sponsored drivers in the US don't have them yet.

Your correct I am sponsored by them. All the drivers at TITC got one to run, hence I have it. Plus, based in china, and regularly talking to the guys at HW helps.

Nice!

Im not sure how to change the motor wires up either. Just mess with how angled the motor tabs are. I think if they were more where the fan is it would look less bunched up in there cause the wires would be longer. Or it would make no difference haha i'm not sure. I think it looked the best when you had the motor wires long so you could run the motor both ways, no wire crossing lol.

And here's the 09. Excuse the receiver, Sanwa is in route.

Both straps are made from old camera straps. If you look closely on this 09, you can see the canon logo...
