I'll post some body on pics later today, my older B6 S2 body fit perfect along with the stock body. It looks like Phillip F has a found good location as too!

The Schelle lockout works. and it's the same price.
The AE direct drive doesn't even work with 17.5 on clay. The Schelle is the only way to go.

I'm going to shim the exotek top shaft for now. Anyway, the issue I think is slop in the transmission along with the poor mesh.

I agree. I used top shaft with a cut down gear and a cut down idler gear in my 17.5 b6 on carpet and turf with zero issues. Took two packs to kill idler gear on my 6.1.

So I installed the MIP puck system since I run 17.5. After setting the diff and all, I notice that the button head screws were touching the rear camber link. The diff rotates perfectly fine and the pins no longer rub. Anyone else notice this?

Default Fan mount

I see so many complicated looking fan installs so here's mine..just cut out a slot in the side guard so the fan sits down onto the chassis and secured with 3m tape and being on the chassis it leans in slightly..easy.

I know to be competitive in the 17.5 class you have to add a fan because you max the timing out on your motor, you over charge your batteries, and people go bat schitt crazy with all the cut gears, and lightweight titanium, I like to make my stuff last as long as possible, I moderately time the motor normally charge the battery, and cut weight where I can but do not run titanium parts to save weight. I have fun driving it. I am a older guy so my reactions are not as fast as some, and I have only raced a buggy over this past winter racing series, which I ended up finishing in the top 10. I am competitive but mainly just between myself and my brother, does anyone else just do it for the fun and the enjoyment of getting out and being around friends? or is everyone else go ballz to the wall with this stuff.

Mine aren't touching, but they're close. I'm only using the +1 diff height adjustment on mine...looks like if I tried to use more than that, it may push it up a little further and cause it to touch the rear camber mount. Are you using any diff height adjustment on yours?

I primarily race on astro and usually only 17.5 because there isnt a mod class. I use no lightweight drivetrain stuff and just use quality bearings in the transmission (schelle) and some titanium bits here and there (screws, turnbuckles). I run a fan because ambient temp in the summer is 100+, track temp can get into the 140-150 range....ridiculous. I am not a fan of pucks because they take away rear traction, I have never been a fan of a slipper eliminator as well. I charge at 10 amps to 8.4v. Do what works for you and what gets you the most enjoyment. There was a race a could months ago (maybe crcrc?) where AE was posting info on charge rates and what not...the guy who tq'd stock buggy was charging at 10 amps to like 8.3v. Majority of the time the better driver will beat out the guy that has a $1000+ roller who charges at 70 amps.
