Funny, I picked up the 2PL too :P Rx is a bit big but will certainly fit. Servo is just too big and a waste of space. Pick up a cheap servo elsewhere, you can probably manage this for <$20 if you look (while same can't be said for the Rx). I picked up an XXL to replace the Rx on my mini-x (glitching at the track I just started going to) but I think I'm going to use that on my SP now. I'll post pics with the new electronics layout when I finish.

As for electronics, most people seem to recommend the spy for ESC, tho I keep hearing really good things about the IPD R18 if you can do without reverse (smaller too). XXL or an old hitec shredder seems to be Rx of choice. Like I said, the Rx that came with the 2PL will work fine. I'm going to try shrinkwrapping mine to see if I can save any space too.

Oh, first thing you should buy is a 180 or larger motor. The 130 that comes with it is crap. I've got a stock HPI 180 in and like it, but I've also got a used Team Orion Core mod motor that I'm eager to try out (after some dremeling to make space). Also heard good things about the GPM modifieds (though tough to find, do a search for them here and theres a link or 2).
