Fit's nicely and just clears the left steering knuckle too![Big Grin Big Grin](https://www.chitownrc.com/images/smilies/biggrin.png)

Beleive it or not, the ESC has yet to get hot, even with taller Tamiya tires and a 20t pinion:eek:

Then just to add to the ridiculousness of this project, I've since got my tax refund and ordered this LiPo for the car:eek:
Horizon Hobby: 3250mAh 3-Cell/3S 11.1V G4 Pro Power 45C LiPo by Thunder Power RC (THP32503SP45)
So now it'll be time for the project to go ludicrous with the next couple weeks
