Really like the alloy hub with its vertical ball stud, so I just switched back to the plastic camber mount.

Having both sides metal was a bit to stiff for my ride , it benefited from the extra grip gain by using a plastic camber mount .

Wc,am I correct in assuming this is how you're cutting the battery cradle? I'll be doing the inline conversion when the kids leave for school, no dremel before 7am

Grind all the tray off flush to the vertical sides of the brace . Be careful of the screw locations, don't remove. Cut each thumb screw separate from the tray then remove middle plastic between thumb screws.Each thumb screw is separate and uses the one screw for attachment.
Remove inside legs off water fall.
Slide Esc under water fall, only a 1/4 of Esc fits under the water fall.
Battery in front of Esc.
Receiver on right side of battery.

Note:
Grinding the battery tray is for more flex in front of waterfall to achieve more traction.

Jmoney, test each and tell everyone your results. Prove your theory...

I already done, and posted the results however..LOL

I cut the middle screws out of the cradle, if it doesn't work out it's a 6 dollar part. I cut it like you said, the piece pretty much tells you where to cut... Coincidence or AE Area 51 stuff built in?

Easy and fun to do.
Cost nothing as everyone already has the parts.

Not sure if Ae planned on these parts being modified.
But we would of waited way longer for this info if not for our own efforts here at Rctech.
Can't find info like this anywhere else...
