The truck looks great! You might want to consider a center skid plate if you're going to run the battery down there.

Wow. I'm surprised by all the responses. Thank you all very much.

I was thinking about a BEC and fan, but don't know what a cap is. I'm sure it is a capacitor, but what kind, where do I buy it, and how do I install it.

I'm going to give the A123's a try for now. We'll see if they stick around.

A skid plate is definitely a good idea. I thought I'd put the battery down there to keep the CG low, but your right that it needs some protection.

Thanks,
Pete
