Tell me about it, cuts off way up by the motor plate. I think I'm going to get the rb6 specific silencer and get it on there.

It's the jc silencer.

I ran my saddles like this for a while. you definitely get more rear grip but almost too much. i was running the newer 17.8 hole which could have been my problem and the back end was a little too soft and wouldn't put enough weight on the front end to steer. The wheelies were a little frustrating as well.

What did you use for a battery strap? I was thinking of trying the b44.2 straps.... Just haven't had a chance to check.

I tried that too, it drives like a rear motor car on throttle but swings around off power. If its loose ITS REAL LOOSE. If its locked in it doesnt turn.

Here is what I did to hold the battery down.

My first question would be why?

Use these guys:

And you shouldn't need a longer axle stub. I use those nuts with the stock stubs and any rear wheel and haven't had an issue yet.
