Here's an older pic of my car with a large fan installed. You can see I have the receiver stood up and mounted lengthwise, under the top deck and the ESC closer to the servo to make room for the fan.

Perspex is a pain to cut but it files down quickly Just sold my digicam so i cant offer a pic, sorry.
I run a Dual cool can fan and have no worries at all with over heating, in fact it trims about 15 degrees c off the motor temp.

I don't know anything about the Futaba radio really, but I do have an M11 and love it. I think the HRS is better to have than PCM. They're both good radios so it really comes down to which one you can get cheaper. I know the M11 is pretty simple to operate once you learn it, but learning it can be tricky. Not sure how easy the Futaba is to navigate though. I know the older Futaba I had (3-pjs I think ) was very hard to navigate.

Also on the fan, get a 5v fan from a Radio Shack (or whatever you guys have like that.) You can wire it directly to the battery terminals on your ESC and wire a switch in so you can turn on the fan separate from the ESC. This way after a run, you can shut off the car and turn marshal, but leave the fan on so that the motor will be cool when you come back. Plus it will send more voltage to the fan that way. If you just plug it into the receiver, it puts out less voltage (not sure of the number off the top of my head) and the fan won't put out as much air.
