Also on the topic of overheating, i see no fans or cooling device(s). Like i said i see many problems here, corerect me if im wrong, but i think this is a disaster waiting to happen.

Odds are, if your RC overheats, it's in a match. That means whether or not you have a shield, it doesnt matter, since its going to take you more than 30 seconds just to walk to it.

I think this is a really great idea. Last year, on our RC we broke both the radio and program ports due to people yanking on the connecters with pins partially screwed in. With this setup, you bypass the fragility of the RC and you can replace the connectors if they break without replacing the RC. It organizes things nicely, and it looks cool.
