I run them side by side, staggered slightly so the bullet connectors can be inserted into the batteries. I run them all the way forward with foam taking up the rest of the space. So far it has worked well.

I run mine on top of each other. I tape them together with strapping tape and have the top one staggered forward about 10mm so it will clear the bullet connectors on the bottom pack. I run them all the way forward with a small foam block in front and a larger piece behind the packs.

I was going to order a couple Ackerman plates today but I can't find one anywhere. I tried Tekno, A Main, Stormer, then searched the web. It looks like they are out of stock everywhere right now. It's a good thing I wasn't planning on racing this weekend.

We're expecting new stock in a week or so.

Nitrohouse should have it in stock.

What is everyone running for ride height? If I put my drive-shafts level I am at about 24mm. I see some set ups at 28/27mm but it seems a little high.

Thanks! I can't load their site at work, but I ordered a couple as soon as I got home.

Default servo wiring tip

Maybe this was obvious to everyone except me

Route the servo wire so all you have to do to replace the servo is to remove the 4 screws that fasten the servo to the metal servo plate and the 2 screws that fasten the servo plate to the integrated mud guard. Makes it so much easier to replace servos if you don't have to remove the entire mud guard

I wanted to run the cables in a more easily accessible way, but I couldn't figure out a way to do it that I thought kept the cable enough away from drive components, yet neatly held down.

The ride height will vary with different tires. Some are taller than others due to pin size and insert. I run the front dog bones a slight bit lower than level and the rear just about level.
