Default Tamiya Hilux 58028 ESC measurements really needed! Lower mech box STL available.

I have created a stl for printing the lower half of the mechanism box for the Hilux kit and the Blazer. I have made it available free, and a user on Cults 3d has already created the top half listed for a few bucks and it prints well. I may add my own top half design at some point. With the entire truck/blazer being built around the mechanism box and the tabs breaking like crazy there have to be allot of incomplete trucks with this part broken or missing.

Note* This is a "close enough" version but I have a corrected one (from an original half) and a heavy duty one that is stronger and has external servo outputs to eliminate the slop and the need for the complicated Tamiya servo savers and brackets. I should have those posted on there soon.

I would also like to create a copy of the ESC that sits next to the trans. I figure it would make a nice housing to hold a modern ESC. I have pics and can get close on dimensions but if someone can hook me up with some measurements please reply here, that would be a huge help.
