+1 except I didn't cut the balance plug.. I prefer to balance..

No Mate they go straight in no mods at all, I have one here brand new I will post it to you if you like for $50aud LRP in this country is quite expensive, im sure you will be able to get them in the states though.

I have run the lipo( no regulator) with the hitec 59xx series servos three years- no failures. I would try with the JR , they would fry right away. This will be the 4th year with the same servos and the lipo setup.

Numbers don't lie

I notched the batt box, andsilconed the hole, so I don't have to take the cover off to charge and it stay some what water resistant.
