Cool, thanks Warren. Went ahead and ordered some of their universals to compare to the Xray and Spec-R's. For now I have some Xray C hubs fitted up that I can test any of the 3 options with. I prefer to not bore the hard coating from the outdrives though so the Hot bodies have the edge there. 
Your idea to drill out and extend is "on track", but I dont think there is enough wall thickness in the plastic pin block to hold the set screw reliably.

Schumacher as the solution, even think xray:
Don't even know if it fits, but have some at home, gonna try a let you guys know.

You could probabaly just use the plastic mounts and drill some holes in to test

After going over the car after first full day out I noticed what others have mentioned. The arm mount blocks pivoted some and all 4 arms that started the day with zero slop, finished with more then I care for. Didn't hit much either so something needs to change there.
Considering building alum. arm mount blocks that have an outside set screw that would lock the pin. This would eliminate all pin slop and put an end to block pivot issue.
Anyone else found resolution to this? I suppose eliminating the shim washers would help some by increasing block seat contact. Another option is to find small serrated washers that bite in enough to eliminate pivot.

Awesome 
I'm more interested in seeing the rest of the CAD TC6 though....

Yes it will increase the width, but with thinner shims the width will stay the same, or am I wrong?
And one thing: It is not from AE. I measured every part several times and build it in 3D. Took some time and wasn't fun in the end, but after the TC5 had so many design failures when using LiPo I want to be prepared...

Cool ideia. For me it would be awsome if it will be one-piece only
