Dunno about a 5 but I can say the rear posts are within a few mm of being dead on with a m04, and the front posts are dead on.
Just want to share something with you guys.. I took mine to the track for the first time tonight. It drove great, but the motor (silver can) got pretty darn hot! I do think the car is heavier and with a 20t pinion it just barbecued the motor. So, I have discovered that the 3racing heat sink with fan fits PERFECTLY between the rear plates, all you have to do is remove the cross brace and that guard that covers the bottom of the motor. To keep it from sliding around the motor and touching the ground, I ran a zip tie through 2 of the screw holes in the plates that bolt to the sides of the transmission and go around the motor. Just shoved it straight through, in between the fins, and put the head of another ziptie on the other end. Works like a charm.. I would highly recommend you guys do this if you are running silvercans.

Again, sorry for the cameraphone pic. The good news is that I have decided to ask for a decent DSLR for xmas.
