I was too lazy to solder myself so just strip back the wires and tape them so prtect against a short. I also used the tape to hold the leads to the battery.

Lol...I do the same..! On my second engine break-in I just started using the tape...Hek with it, and it worked fine for what it is...Lol.. Which Flyinsolo11, you could easily just "jerry" something up for a quick-doohickie type little unit that will adapt well for your limited space that you are dealing with for the moment, besides it will give ya something to tinker with, and maybe confuse the roomate or something...Lol..
Yeah the Trex is all built, just needs a few more fine tunings mechanically, and then the beautiful discovery of understanding the DX-7...Lol..I'am taking my time on it, minutes a day, but mainly just at a stopping point for a bit, and re-grouping with lots of reading for a bit more knowledge that I still require...But I love it...Thanks for asking.
Take care,

P.S.-- Still so badly want an HBK2 with brushless..lol...It's getting closer...I can feel it.....
