Florian just uses a front F or E block in the front that I dremeled a bit out Simmi.
On the alu chassis, I just added some normal 10grams in the center to get the car balanced. It's not as nice as the Tamiya part, but it works :)

Guys,

Are you placing 0.75mm or 1mm shims (motor mount) when you set torque link / stiffener stick. Per Thercracer link - which descriptions are always great and very useful - suggest 1mm for torque but 0.75 for the stick. Not sure why different shims needed.
If i measurer correctly 1mm is the high difference between servo vs motor holder. But not sure...

Thanks

many use the 1mm shim. I think there was just a small difference in the manufacturing tolerance that made me prefer the 0.75mm

Clear, thx

They made no mention of the new battery mounts in the prior description and it looks like it is not included in the upgrade pack.
