Has anyone made a new mounting plate for the ESC, RX, and Transponder and not use the stock RX box?
I plan on doing one out of some CF plate I have so I can get the ESC back further and the RX forward more to help with not having to use a servo extension.

This way you just unplug the steering servo and unsolder or remove the motor and ALL the electronics can be removed for cleaning.
You can make flexable cover for the RX out of scrap Lexan from the bodies if you want to protect the RX, but it has not been an issue in the other 4 trucks/buggies so far.
