Hey Darklord Welcome!!

Just a little word, I once did a modification to gain some electronics-space in my Pred.
Maybe it could give you some ideas.
Here is an album I made of these changes: http://www.ludodg.com/RC/albums/Pred_ESC_mod/

All I did was :
* mounting a low-profile servo in the pred
* make a little plateau above the shaft, where there is plenty of room under the body. I could easily fit any type of ESC in there.

I made it in metal, just that it could absorb some heat from the ESC.
This is nothing I invented. I got the idea form a bloke who mounted a normal size servo, and then mounted a similar plate as mine with some double side tape onto the servo. The ESC was then taped onto that plate., above the shaft.

Later on I made a stick-pack-conversion and didn't need this modification any more .
If you like the idea, I still have those parts I made. If you would like to use them, just let me know. It won't be a prob for me to send them to you.
But I'm sure you can work something out yourself

cheers
