Best method (IMHO) for drilling the 3rd hole is to fill the std 2 up first. In the US we have an epoxy called Araldite - ideal for the job!!

Cheers, what width/toe-in shims did you use at the rear?
And were you using Sch white springs?

Is the kit toe-in (2mm front, 0.5mm Rear) 2.4 deg?

Like Randy said, I used an under sized bit. Reamed the hole slightly with my reamer and then threaded the ball-stud into the new hole. Filling the std holes with 5min plastic epoxy would obviously be the best thing to do.

Now if we could only get Schumacher to make it right, but I've been asking for years

I couldn't get past 60.5 with the cup threaded as far in as I coud get it. Weird . . .
I've got bunches of shock shafts, so it was an easy decision to just shave 1.5-2mm off to see what the fit & action of the shocks were like .....in the end, perfect

14 lbs. They're actually a little stiffer but that's what they're rated at.

Can someone please show a pic of how they have mounted Corally tubes on their 5 cell packs with the 6 cell chassis?

On my cyclone i just put them on the end of the cell per normal, but in the MI3 the belt runs too close.

Most people run a battery bar up from the end cell and bent at a right angle so the tube can be mounted 'on top' of the pack.

My corally connecter clears the belt quite confortably
