Got the receiver beind the ESC at the moment - its at an angle and just stuffed in there at the moment. I might move it to where you say since it would fit ok

The mamba max motor was a @#$% to fit!
haha, I really didn't think it would fit. the Keen motor area (as you well know) is tight as hell (without dremeling stuff)- but the mamba max motor is massive and has external screws around the motor, only small but it meant that I couldnt mesh the pinion (17t 48dp) at all. eventually I realised I could flip the motor 180degrees and have the wires facing the rear of the car (and then looping back) and the screws no longer fouled on anything.

I have the tamiya slipper on the way now, I really need it before I take the car out with this mamba max thing - otherwise it will tear the car in half I am sure.

I love the car - only driven it round the kitchen, but that doesn't matter - I just love how it looks and the interesting build. It makes the slim4 look wide too! well, almost
