Ben don't worry about the lack of braking power. John has a programing card for that esc that can take care of that.
There is an easy fix for the body. Don't throw away your scrap lexan. Just cut a small piece and shoogoo it to cover up the hole. Or you can just leave it.

I'm wrapping up my build right now. I did a little test driving and noticed my brake seems to be very weak. It doesn't come close to locking up the wheels and is barely noticeable. I'm using the Trackstar Gen II and a sensored Hobbywing motor. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong OrangeRX to use with my DX6i so I'm stuck with my cheap HK radio set until the Airtronics MX-V I ordered arrives. It wouldn't surprise me if my current radio setup was to blame but I'm wondering if there is a problem with my ESC or its programming. I'm only testing it out on my hard floor in the house so maybe its to do with the low speed?
I also seem to have mistaken the dimples by my front fenders for the dimples where the body posts go. But there aren't any visible dimples further and toward the center where my posts are lining up.
Thanks in advance guys.
Ben
