Micro Electronics
I own an SP and use the following electronics which fit well in the low body clearance and perform flawlessly:
Orion Flashpoint ESC
Airtronics Micro 3 Channel FM RCVR
Hitec HS-55 steering servo
Airtronics M8 Radio
Had to buy the ESC and the servo, but transferred the balance from my 1/10 road car.
The Flashpoint ESC gives great proportional throttle control with soft braking and reverse for the "oops" factor. The Flashpoint is also very thin and can be servo taped to the servo, perfect for the low body clearance and limited space under the PC shells.

I guess you would call it a single tier.
The flashpoint is on top of the servo, capacitor to the driver's side.
The receiver is as far back against the body mount posts as possible on top of the battery case.

an alternative would be the ES-01. It's $25.00 regularly. works up to a 180 motor, with 6 cells. That's a good set-up.

the ES-01 is a pretty small little thing for an ESC.

A Novak XXL Reciever is about 1/2 the size of that Airtronics monster... you should look into it to go along with that Orion Esc
It's about the size of the Mini servo that comes with the X4's CRP

Yep, I run the XXL in my XXX. Can I buy a vowel?
Good example of using what was laying around in the toolbox.
Now I don't have a backup for XXL.

Does the capacitor come attached to the ESC or did you attach it? If you did attach it, how do you know when to do something like that?

The capacitor was installed by Star Fleet Engineering in the space dock. Except for the initial definition of the warp drive parameters, I did not have to do any further tweaking to the warp drive specifications.
Translation, it came factory installed. Initial set-up was performed following the mfg's specifications. Easy, no hassles.
