The caps do stick out a bit, can they be protected by the frame too

I was thinking to hot glue mine.
I will have to stick them on the arms, as the caps are so big, they won't fit on the ESC tray :(

After crushing one I've bought spares which are nearly half the size of the original and the exact same value. I've hot glued them too.

Thats the dry build done now. The wait for parts begins, motors still to come.

This is the first build that feels i have personalized it. The options of how to fit things is very good:) Loads of options:)
