Hard to get the angle with my phone. But there is less than a 2mm gap. But the battery is crazy loose in there. It slides forward easy. I guess with my layout I could just stuff foam in there.

I'm attempting the full inline layout. The Tekin RS is just a little too big of footprint to fit though.

That's me pre-ordered a B5M Lite!

Can anyone tell me which length of flat sensor cable I'll need to run it under the battery?

Try turning the battery thumb screws upside down, that's what I had to do on the RM with my SMC 3500 & 3800 packs.

I cut a piece of foam to go under the battery.

You should put the foam between the battery and the brace to keep your COG as low as possible.

If I understand correctly, using the +4mm C arm mount with 5mm hexes will result in each inner hinge pin being 2mm further out, but the track width remains the same.

So... by moving the inner hinge pin out, are you raising or lowering the roll center?

They say they only work with the HD axles, but not sure what the difference is between the HD and regular axles. Maybe the HD are just thread further so the wheel nut can be screwed on farther with the slimmer hexes?

Are you sure?

Wonder how these are able to work with both the 5mm and 7mm hexes?

Too rich for my blood. But then again my B5M is mod only. Have a B5 for stock. Out of the box lightness.... How would these things even hold up in the event of a punt, or direct hit to the axle?

This change lowers the rear roll center.

local have been racing with these axles for a couple months. no issues. As far as the hexes go, you CAN NOT use the new hexes designed for the HD axles. For now most everyone has the old axles, but in 6 months if that changes, amain plans to update the Ti axles to the HD diameters. If you want to use the +5mm hex width, you can use the current front hex on the rear.
