Holy..................... why do you gotta tease us like that

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.

will there be battery retainers in the chasiss kit ?
#1003
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.
