Schmenzer’s DMG NAT Part 3

Mounting the ESC, Receiver and Battery

For now I am using stock Losi electronics but I may end up upgrading down the road.

There is some decent room in the NAT for electronics but a bit of planning made things go easier. After trying components in different spots I basically decided to go with a similar set up to the one I am using on my modified stocker.

The stock Losi ESC is mounted on the rear 3-link using my now standard G-erber link tray.

The factory Losi Receiver is mounted on the rear axle using the servo mount with the switch on the small shelf in the “rear window”

Electronics mounted towards the rear

Battery mounted on the front 3 link

I am using a 7.4V 2S 1000mAh LiPo mounted on another G-erber tray on the front 3-link.

The components are a fairly tight fit but everything seems to move freely and smoothly.

I’ve been driving the NAT on the Mini Speedway indoor course and it seems to work very well. I need to work more on the shocks but will wait until the Losi aluminum shocks are available. I want to either buy or make a skid plate that moves the lower links more inboard and find some smooth lower links; maybe Delrin.
