The only ones I have seen with the bumps are only like 3200 or 3800 mah. I haven't seen anything higher myself.

Prior to buying OVA's EVO 5 MS I starting to buy parts to build one. I happened to have the TBO3 rear prop shaft, TB03 Spur gear holder, and Non-MS motor mount. So I took my car apart to test some stuff out and to show some pictures of the differences.
The good news is that it did fit! See pictures below. (I didn't shim them perfect but close enough for testing.) The only thing that is off is that it does move the spur gear closer to the motor mount so the hole cut out in the bottom of the EXO chassis is not lined up anymore. This really isn't an issue because the biggest spur gear that will fit is a 84 tooth (64p.) There is still clearance under the spur gear as seen in picture 2.
I have the MS (picture 3) and Standard motor mounts (picture 2) shown.

Are you using split blocks? Or just the normal blocks for the FR and RF blocks

I used the normal 1 pice al around. The car have so much flex, so i think its not neccesary.
I also have installed the center post, and runed geardiffs F and R. Front Ride gum, and rear 2k oil.

[QUOTE=Travis S;12238228]I assume this was using the standard EVO 5 spur gear holder and not the TB03 holder like I tried in the photos. The TB03 holder moves the spur much more to the front then the EVO 5 holder would.
The TB03 part would've also worked. I just wanted to keep everything blue. You have to turn the spur gear adaptor on opposite from the instructions

From what I have read so far, the 502 diff assembly is shorter then the tb evo 5, so the whole diff would fit would just have to shim it correctly, has anyone tried this mod, using the entire 502 diff, versus just the gear and ball and using all the tb evolution parts thanks
