Wayne, I should be more clear some times, What I meant by heavy leads was, Leads that carry a fair bit of current. I wasn't aluding to the extra weight.
The leads that go between the motor and the ESC are carrying a fair bit of current they are also being switched quite rapidly from plus to minus by the ESC while driving the motor as well as on and off at the same time at some set frequency usually either 8 Khz or 16 Khz. All this switching of large currents can generate a fair bit of electrical noise wich can couple into servo leads and antennas and reduce the effictiveness of your radio link. It's best to keep all the noisy stuff (electrical noise) up one end of the plane away from your RX.
There should be heaps of air flow out the back of that cowl no probs with cooling in there I'd think !!
