Thanks for all your kind words and encouragement guys I appreciate it.

Yes Reg, I do have 2 backup plans actually. Both ESC's are cheap and don't have a lipo low voltage cutoff so to prevent doing any damage I bought a lipo low voltage audible alarm. As soon as I hear it chirp even once, I know it's time to raise the box a couple inches ( it doesn't take much to gain the room needed to clear the back cab plate) and replace the battery.
The other plan is, you built this box with 4 screws to secure on the dumping mechanism. It fits so well and snug I'm only going to secure with the 2 in the bottom of the box and not reinstall the 2 on the front edge of it. So worst case scenario is I remove the box to be able to get the cab off.

In hindsight, I guess I should have wired up a manual switch in the right side step and could have used a 9 volt battery in the fuel tank as a aux power source. But way too far into this build to do that now
I'm sure the audible alarm will work fine. It's loud! You can't miss it when it goes off!
