Hello Jeremy....hrrrrrrmmmm Sorry to have to say this, but you're latest update....i.m.o. one step forward, two steps back.

Yes you have eliminated the chance of shorting the ferrite man on the blank motor parts, but now your wiring interferes with both rear body support post.
Yes you have listened to Alan's advice and added a LC led on lead wires...but have not moved it that much forward from its initial position.
So no gain here, just more parts added and thus also and added possible point of failure. 
You have returned to the OEM Scaleauto pod but without the exploiting the main benefit of that configuration which i.m.o. is the central suspension at the front of the pod.

Not questioning your willingness to listen and learn.... but you have omitted the most important stage between listing and learning and that is to check what you have heard.. and verify for yourself by testing ;)

But before you continue, please do the simple mod of reinforcing the base of your antenna on the chip.
As in this stage you'll be handling the chip a lot and will bend the antenna left right and center. 
The only thing that's holding the antenna to the chip is a tiny blob of rigid soldering on the bottom of your chip.


With kind regards
Tamar
