thanks man. definitely thought about getting a smaller receiver but i'm too cheap for that so i think i'm just going to rob my rc18 receiver out of my other truck. its nearly twice as small as the MRCs. as for the battery i planned on just putting in between the frame rails in the rear in a fake fuel tank.

Well, if the batteries are used to power the vehicle, the fuel tank won't be fake, will it?

...just one of life's little mystery questions...

Sorry! As dutch people why call it an accu or battery! for both it is for us the same.
Other people speak only from fuel cell,s.
I think the most people woudt say a battery!
