That rather depends I need to finish the testing and checkout things like the fail safes.
Also at the moment the very small and not very bright led is difficult to see the way I mounted the receiver.
I did quite a lot of the layout before the receiver arrived and didn't know where it was.

With 100mm motor leads and 80mm power leads including the JST connector the complete module weighs in at 6 gms.
The failsafe built into the controller works as expected and even with drive running flat out they shut down after about 1 second.
The weapon plug is direct from the receiver so if it is driving a servo that will stop where it is but in the case of a spinner it relies on the brushless controller failsafe which would need to be checked.
The two I tried both shut down after about 2 seconds.

oops, I have had a look at my code; I forgot to add a failsafe clause to the code.
TEAM GEEK!

I came across the fingertech controllers a while ago but I never took note of the size, at about 12x12x3 without heat shrink and calibration pins they are pretty much perfect for what I'm planning. they are a bit pricey at 50 pound for a pair posted from Canada but they are a tiny package:
I'll have to find some money so I can get making cradles when they arrive.

Finally got round to finishing it.
With the case it is 27 x 26 x 8 mm excluding the wires and servo plug and the whole thing as below weighs in at just under 7 gms.
The LED is just about visible through the RxLED window.
