RE: Radio box solution??
i don't see how it would make alot of difference weight wise. depending on your buggy you would have to make sure the back of the radio tray has something solid to mount to is this provides stiffness to the buggy and stops the servos moving.
you may also want to do some research on the effects of carbon fibre on the reciever. i know that my transponder says not to mount it above carbon fibre or metal.
