They, button heads, will. Which is why I said, in the post you quoted
, to shim the spur out a little bit.
I personally don't like the idea of both sides of the screw holes being counter sunk, not enough material left for a solid mount. That's just me..I actually crash unlike the rest of RCTech

I picked up a CF motor plate from Plan B racing. And no, not to save weight, but it is light. Yes, I am aware that CF does not dissipate heat like aluminum. No I didnt get it because it was pretty. I picked it up because it was available, it wont tweak, it was only $15 shipped and perhaps less flex to keep a better mesh.

Sell your B5M and buy a T5M if a ST is what you really want.

hmm, selective reading I guess

I looked at the CF plates (went with the milled AE) when putting my car together for this last weekend but had worries about heat since the motor I ran wasn't mine (thanks Cpt.America
) In the end heat wouldn't have been an issue. That custom Fantom mill took everything I threw at it and never temped over 140
On a side note. I'm glad I'm not stock racing very much, locally or otherwise. Because I found out first hand that the whole battery "juicing" game is no joke, legal or not it makes a difference.

Couple questions...
First of all now that you can't get the 4600 SMC packs what are the best stock battery's for the money? Orion 4500's? Right now I am running some 4100 Reedy's and I love them but I bought them used (were only a couple weeks old or so) and I've had them for prob 4 months and while they are prob the best battery's on the market they are just to damn expensive so I am thinking about picking up another fresh battery and use the Reedys as practice packs.
Second for those running the D4 SS (1S) what have you found gearing and timing wise to be its sweet spot. I am running 69/32 and 50*s of timing (while 58* was way faster it got to hot) but I have found this motor to be strange and takes a diff gearing and timing combination.
Thanks!

Killshot based Apex2
Cpt.A pulled it from his TC, so I'm sure it was thrashed hard before he sent it to me j/k. It honestly wasn't far off from the newer short stack based motors.
The battery game in the AZ area is a must for stock, unfortunately.

Has anyone tried the Schelle D arm mount? It looks interesting but says something about possibly requiring a different hinge pin? Or is that only for pulling hinge pins out the rear?
