Mid-Tanked XL - where to put the radio gear and still keep the roto-start?

[orcusomega]

I now, RPM box and Rush battery box - but I don't want anything on the outside of the TVP's - this is my 9 year old son's truck, and I want everything well protected

I was able to make a battery tray out of 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" aluminum angle iron and nylon rod - but I consider this temporary until I come up with a non-hack installation idea. In the long run, I want something not as ghetto, but it will work for now!

Funny thing is that this is the same piece of angle I have used for 3 mid-tank kits, several servo mounts, etc - definately getting my $3 out of it

I ended up putting the RX on the other side of the TVP from the battery tray - this is again a hack, but keeps things safe and protected. Obviously I also zip-tie them in place, I just don't have a pic of that.

So, has anyone else done anything similar? I tried putting the battery in the front along the TVP, but my steering servo is mounted to the underside of the mid-tank plate, and it eats up all that space...

Any ideas are appreciated!

LOL sorry that made me chuckle.


I put my Rx in an RPM box on the front tower when I was using XL TVP's.

And the hump pack under the servo plate, not sure what you got up front in terms of space for it.
