Thats exactly what I did Billy, I turned my receiver on it's side. Now the plugs point straight out the bottom of the box. I test fit it last night. I'm going to go back in there with some Velcro and probably do that. That way I can remove it if I want too. Same with the esc.

I ran into guys at the track that said they've slammed down so hard that the top of the mamba esc case has popped off. They had said 2 things, 1 put padding underneath it. The shock from no padding can break up the circuit board. The other strap is strap the fan cover to the base somehow. The guy I talked too suggested safety wiring it through the vents on the side. I need to come up with a plan for mine.

Also Lars, I sanded my center diff with 400 grit and that seemed to take care of it. I don't have a Mugen gasket on hand or the upgraded O-rings but mine doesn't seem to leak anymore. I'll keep everyone posted as soon as something changes.

And Billy I just realized you were running that Futaba that cost twice as much as the car. Lol. I don't know about that antenna, but the Spektrum antenna is only 3 inches anyway. I have most of mine coiled up in the box. Spektrum says running it with an inch vertical is plenty. So mines an inch tall. No hole in the body. I'll snap a picture as soon as I feel like getting out of bed. It's not even 8 am yet. I just happen to be off today.
