Yes, it will be a little ghetto, but then again, a 5lb motor on a 24" long truck is ghetto to begin with.

I may change it later, but I just want to get it working for now. I have a Hitech 945mg servo for steering, and a 2055 traxxas for the throttle/brake. The ESC is a duratrax 16t intellispeed. Nothing hi tech, but i want to get it working for now.
That little gadget you have the link to is really neat though. Maybe when i get this truck how i want it, and want to clean it up some, ill buy that. I think I can hide the ESC ok right now though.
