I balance change every time, but I charge @20 amps. 4000mah in 17 minutes!

I noticed that with mine. I used a dremel to clearance the chassis so it doesn't hit when flexing.

It won't do critical damage, but if you don't like your motor getting scuffed I would dremel the culprit.

@krio: then i won't do it. Its already scuffed a bit and it would take hours and hours to get the permission from my dad to do that :/ when it comes to dremel/mod my car he's quite strict.

Thanks! I was fixing out home pc when I ran across these in my box. Busted out my calipers and then went and found some extras. The stock stud does have to be cut down about 4mm to fit though.

+1!
When I charge @ 20 amps, it does not hurt to balance and add 1 minute to the charge time and at that rate I would rather be on the safe side and balance.

Different story I guess if you are charging at a snails pace 1c when all you got is 5 to 6 amps going in.

I'm in that 20 amp boat too. Only way I can keep up with 2 kids and myself running. Big reason I bought the Orion Twinspec charger.

Why not balance at that pace
