How does the servo mount? I'm confused by looking at the pic.

Edit: nevermind. I figured it out.

The re-build kits are currently being made. However the pin is a 1.5mm pin, the same as XRAY ones.

Make sure that when you tighten the set-screw, you are using a high quality driver. Also make sure that you allow the loctite to cure for best results. For the ultimate solution you can notch the pin and/or use some heat shrink on the DCJ.

Of all the things above, I only use the loctite method, with a quality, big handle driver in order to torque the set-screw sufficiently so that they don't come out.

The only pin I have lost was when I did not use loctite when I first tested the production versions. After I did, I used some loctite and the failure has not come back.

Bought the belt tensioner. It looks to push the battery further out vs the stock piece and now my battery (rev tech 6500) doesn't fit. Is there a way to make it work?

Yes, the battery retainers do come with the chassis kit. They are slotted so that you can adjust your battery a bit, based on the size of the packs.

As for the belt tensioner, it is designed to push the battery a bit away from the belt. Some batteries are slightly bigger than others so it is necessary to make the plastic pieces "square". If you look at them closely they are a bit angled towards the inside. Another option is to heat them up a bit and bend them out slightly.

I will work on an installation tutorial over the weekend. Sorry it has taken this long, it's just been so busy that I honestly forgot.

Mine is quite a bit more than slightly away from the best. It's about 8mm. Hmm. I will just wait for the new chassis and see if it works for me there.
