Lastly, did anyone else have to dremel or file the right side hold down, to clearance the bullet connector for the inside battery terminal?

Thanks!

I am using a small square of the 22 battery foam that has the sticky on one side and it is stuck to the chassis. I don't have to dremel anything to fit my packs in there.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll try some foam or something. Right now I'm just laying out the electronics, and wanted to position things and wire for both possibilities (forward and back).

It would've been sweet to have the same type of battery "stop" in the back of the left side pack, as in the front. Remove the rear stop for back, and put it in, for front.

I don't, I don't think it really matters which way the rotation is.

Got it, thank you!

Does the king pin screws from my 22SCT or 22 1.0 work on my 22-4? I stripped a head on one too much locktite. Just wonder if I have replacements already or need to invest in the right one's.

They won't, since a through kingpin would also have to go through the middle of the driveshaft

If you can't get replacements in time you can always slot the top of the stripped screw with a cut off wheel in a dremel. Then use a slot screw driver to install it.

Not the king pins that thread on both sides I know those won't work, but before they had those there were screws used just like the 22-4. I was just wondering if they are the same.

That was my plan its in place I stripped it trying to get it out because I had some binding issues those have been cleared up.

That is the same batteries I am using. Plus I got some ThunderPower saddles too have not had a chance to fit them yet. I like the SMC batteries especially for the price compared to the TP ones.

They are not. The 22-4 uses a larger diameter screw.
