i'd be real interested on how you did this...can you post a pic of your hold down straps,etc...and did you use the stock body? I can get the batteries in but the straps and the 1/0 wiring SMC supplys with their packs makes it almost impossible to put the body on! 
The SMC battery is damn sexy and i'm itchin to try it!

Almost ready,just need to mount some tires and paint a body! Yes the 4900 does fit but it took some grinding and spacing I am going to do it a little different in the future but it is ok for now

Got the new aluminum bulkhead for the RB5 and it's a very nice piece of work. This will eliminate the breakeage of that piece but will (in Tim & I opinion) will add stress to the arms. If your running weight under your steering rack, this will take the place of that weight and actually make the weight transfer alot smoother as well. Seeing how this part is out of stock i think everywhere, it would make a good investment i think. Lets kick some a$$ at the ECT finals.

I recently picked up a spare RB5 w/ the stock rear end. Do you guys have a favored setup for this config?
For my main car w/ the worlds kit, I've got a setup similar Tebo's w/ Tim's mods outlined previously in this string.
I also picked up the bulkhead and steering rack from chedda bob...will try to throw them in tonight between heats @ amain.

I'm currently running the Tebo's set up for clay med. grip dusty track. I gave a set up sheet to double E. sunday. and I'll bring more next time I hit the track. I'm not currently running the mid/arm set up just the stock arms and stock tower on mine.

First run with the FS today and I am totally happy with it(Thanks for talking me into it guys). I have never had a 4 wheel electric before so it was new to me and I must say that it performed flawlessly. No breakage and for me that is huge. It was a little too fast at first but I got use to it pretty quick(6.5 at Amain is a little much)
. I was a little overgeared so my temp was up a bit but the car itself worked very well. I only had one problem and that was not with the car. I mounted the cap on the center of the chassis brace and the zip tie worked its way around and blocked the fan,so the fan was my only broken part of the day If my extra parts come before Thursday I may make it to the ECT.

I have a FS I can bring to the ECT for back up parts for you. I'm not ready to convert over to the FS yet so will be running the SP again. So don't worry to much about parts for the FS I got ya covered.

Wow Tim,
That is extremely kind of you to offer up parts,I really do appreciate it. I have a ton of parts that are going to be shipped to me tomorrow 2 day so I should have them by Thursday. It cost me a fortune but I will have extra parts for quite some time. I might take you up on that offer
if they don't show. Having this new car almost makes me want to get a 2 wheel again and give it another shot but that will have to wait for another time. Thanks again for the offer and also for helping me decide on the FS!
