It can be really handy having a place close by for the basics, like wire and resistors and LEDs and what-not. You'll hear a lot of opinions on holding stuff down and a lot of guys like a hot glue gun but I prefer this stuff called Zap Goo. A simple Google search will find it, and I think it's great stuff for everything from holding wiring in place to securing stowage. It sticks like crazy, until you want it to stop sticking and then it comes apart fairly easily. But if you know something better I'm always up for new ideas.

Looking forward to more on this tank, and can't wait to see video!
Thanks for your help. It's all back together now and even on the HL 1800mah battery its fast. definitely scale speed and enough that the tank rolls to a stop now which is cool. It is more controllable with the torque of the motors but it feels like the controller and rx18 are holding it back. Sounds a lot different now too with those makes a cool in sync whine sound when it starts
