small update:
Have googled for pics of Mamba Monster ESCs and found out that there are more ESCs without solder on the underside of the motor connectors, so I guess this is normal.
Both ESCs and also the lipos are plasti-dipped now.
The planned mounting position of the ESCs (on top of the center diff) turned out to be not very good because they would sit quite high and also the plate ontop of the center diff would have been quite large to fit two ESCs plus capacitors. Also didn't like my initial plan of replacing the 30x30x7 fans with 30x30x10 fans, those small fans are just too wimpy IMHO, a small leaf can make them stop turning. Could put a grill over them (tried that actually), but then they make even less airflow.
So the ESCs will probably be placed next to the motors for lower center of gravity and cooling using the fans that cool the motors. Only concern is that the motor heat will transfer to the ESCs, but I think with a strong 60x60 fan over each motor/ESC that should not be a big problem.
Also got some new on and offroad tires and rims.
Onroads are belted MCD Rally x4 142mm ROSSA TARMAC Blue Spot.
Weight will be around 280g mounted, 20g lighter than my FG onroad slicks, very nice.
Offroads are Elcon Astro Turf medium, weight will be around 300g mounted, not light, but still okay.
Rims are MCD Half-disc rim black with 24mm hex and aluminum re-inforcement ring around the hex.
