FYI, they come oiled not greased so the drivetrain is super free right out of the box.
There will be a special Mi3 PDub bumper. PW will get the info out when he know more details.

I'm sure we can come up with a easy solution 
I'm sure we can come up with a easy solution I've seen pics of the early version of the car with the LRP Sphere and DSM mini receiver mounted.(I think it may have been a pic of your car) and I saw the little DSM wire sticking up.
I guess that definitely solves the antenna mount location thing.I look forward to seeing what solution you guys come up with. Maybe something as simple as having a way to mount the antenna mount to the rear servo mount post or something like that.

I personally alway start a 7x1 at 9:1 with 12*deg of timing. After the first lap down the straight I know if the motor needs more or less gear. The most important thing I've learned with any modified motor is to NOT under gear! Once you under gear a mod motor it will over-rev and go out of balance

Legend says that it was so you could look at a car's guy from across the pits and see that he was running a Novak ESC... not just some non-descript black box
