Thanks Jason. I realized that after I tightly mounted all screws to motor plate the slop was gone. My oversight. Thanks

On a related issue, I bought an aftermarket Yaiba motor plate for the rb6. It's 3mm thick rather than the stock 2mm plate. Two issues:

1. To run this plate where do I add a 1mm shim? My guess would be outside the brass collar on the top shaft?

2. The Yaiba motor plate has recessed motor mount holes for the motor screws which are cut on the side for rear motor assembly. When flipping it over for MM this recess is on the wrong side. I guess I could put a shim in the recess for the motor screws but wonder if this is just too funky to work properly. What a shame because it's damn pretty.

Can any of you guys tell me where I can get low profile battery connectors. Not the ones connecting the battery to the ESC but the ones going into the battery itself. I have a couple of short packs and I need some low profile connectors for the application I'm doing on my buggy. The ones that come with the battery go straight up I need some that go to the side kinda like L shape not I shape.

Guys, looking at Zack Rogers's Setup, I'm trying to figure out which pills I need in RF (UMW705) and RR (UMW707) hangers - Mid Motor. Can anyone give it to me in english ? I thought I was a pretty smart person but the reference chart that comes with the hangars is blowing my mind


from a post i read earlier, I'm going with b-out on RF and RR, which i think is stock...

Default battery straps?

What're the best after market straps for mm cars for shorty packs and saddles? Have two cars running both setups
