You cannot go wrong there. I use the DX3C for all my cars, nitro and electric on road, crock crawler and rock racer and a buggy off road. 1 Transmitter and 5 SR300 receivers, just bind and save the model details and your away.

I know you're in Canada but a good place for batteries is www.hobbypartz.com. The Gens Ace ROAR approved ones are your best choice. Prices are darned good..just don't know what shipping would be. Check them out. 1 Lipo battery should be good for a lot more than 15 minutes. Just don't do alot of playing around between races. Average race is 5 minutes-8 minutes.

Not sure what you mean. You ARE using a pair of servo mounts, correct ?? I looked up your servo....nothing unusual. Should go right in after you install the servo mounts. There should be screw holes on bottom of chassis. the screws come up through the chassis and into the servo mounts. Trying to cover the bases here in hopes of answering your question.
Also, servos do not mount in only 1 direction. in other words...the servo horn could either be to the right sdie of servo or left side of servo depending on how you mount the servo.
Does this help ??

thx for the reply. i am using the servo mounts. but when i hook the linkage up to the servo there is no way i can screw through the bottom of the body into the mounts. the holes are literally on the other side of the plastic tabs that comes of the side of the servo. does that make sense?
