Schelle battery brace users, did any of you need to shave down either the posts or thumbscrews? I'm not understanding why the thumbscrews are about 3mm from putting tension on the Schelle brace.

? Doesn't make sense, that means the stock brace wouldn't add tension either. Is your batteries height is below the chassis post height?

I have plenty of tension with my Schelle brace.

Yea IDK either. This is a conversion kit to mid motor. I haven't put the adhesive foams on the chassis yet, but from the looks of it I would need the foams double stacked or something. Or one on chassis and one on bottom side of the Schelle brace.
I'll post a pic when I get home tonight.

I had the opposite problem, mine would crank down to the point where it was bowing down.

According to online specs, the Venom 3800 are 25mm high. This is dimensions on the new batteries. Mine are from 2012 I think, and I assume they are near the same height.

Any idea if your batteries are around the 1" height?

has anyone installed the +4 c mount and 5mm hexxes? I just installed mine and the hex isn't even close to clamping the axle. I tightened the screw all the way in the hex and it just slides on and off the axle, it is super sloppy on the axle.

The new 5mm hex is designed for the new HD axle that is about .3mm thicker than the standard B5/B5M axle

I am. LoL.The Venom shorties. They've been good, this is like 4th season I think. Mid 2012 is the date I wrote on them. We only race the 10th scale cars indoor from October to April. I use an 8.5 in mod nowadays. Smaller track around 90x60 I think. With this car i just converted the only extra mod motor I have is a Velocity 7.5.

My new venom shorties are absolutely killer. Best battery I have used to date. Its pretty sad when my venom packs have lower IR and more punch than my high end reedy and orion packs.
