Main thing will be the dimensions. My Hyperion 6000s are big like the Gens Ace 6000s. Heck, wouldn't be surprised if they come from a similar plant.
I personally would just run the posts without the extensions only and get a longer cap head 2.5mm screw when securing the battery straps. I like the 2.5mm cap heads as I have an MIP ball driver that I can get at them with.

I equipped the FT with a Reedy 550 size 4.5 motor, LRP Sphere Competition TC spec ESC that I've had for a while in other cars and 1/10 buggies and 32 pitch 62/12 gearing as recommended.
Drive train is free albiet a little stiff compared to a 2wd or 4wd belt Tamiya buggy and mesh is not too tight.
Are these trucks very noisy when you run them slowly on a bench? Went to run in the drive train at maybe 20% throttle and was surprised at how rough sounding they are.
I thought the same thing when I ran mine on the bench the first time. It is very noisy in comparison to my 2wd stuff, but similar or lower than my 1/8 buggy. On the track, its quieter than other brand 4wd SCTs.
Has anyone gotten a part number for the new gear cover?
