Just a note to those of you breaking in HL metal gearboxes. The cast gears tend to throw many little metal shards all over inside. I noticed a few on my rx13 and 18 boards...NICE FOR SHORTS!!
might want to make a small plastic bulkhead seperating motors from rest of hull.....

Re: Metal shards
I made a metal cover to go over my gearboxes, it also stops the oil on the gears from spraying the inside of the tank.

Nice setup! I like the easy access charger jack!
Re: Metal shards
I got rid of the charging jack after someone posted a pic of a battery that burst into flames whilst it was being recharged.
Re: Metal shards
maybe that was on a 5amp charger....
