did anyone else mount thier transponder here? i had to be very careful with the dremel, but i gently shaved a little bit of the plastic away to make it just fit with some help then glued it also. It doesnt look like it but its in there pretty good i dont think its coming out unless i want it out, but ya never know. Smile

Ummm.... you may want to be careful with that. I can't tell from the angle too well but it looks like it could take a serious beating during racing. Since they are not supposed to be mounted by the reciever I will probably mount mine in the box where my reverse servo used to be.

well the bumper would have to get riped off first i know the angles arent that good but the only way anthing fro the track could touch it is if the bumper and body posts get ripped off. Smile

i have mine taped to the top of the steering servo with double sided servo tape and it works flawlessly. Doesnt take any abuse and its in a safe spot.

i would be afraid of getting hacked in that spot and it just getting demolished. I would pick up one of those kyosho transponder mounts and find a place where u could mount it on the chassis to keep it protected

Joe did u get a chance to send that body Smile

Just snip the wires then. Did you do the FOC??? Or did you just remove the reverse servo and optidrive?? The kit comes with the plug...

no FOC, just removed the opti module. Didn't want to snip the wires, just tucked them away for safekeeping.

You can take a scrap peice of Lexan and glue it to the underside of the RX lid too. I did that before the FOC conversion came out.
