I did something like this also. Put the receiver in a watertight box, with like 4 inch extensions peeking out. Then plug them into the various wires. Makes stripping the truck sooo much easier. I etched what each extension goes too on the plug end, Esc, Bec, Str, Shft. If you're worried about them coming apart, a dab of silicone on the outer plug edge and it's golden. But easy to get back apart.
