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!!
ok set up is as follows:
front
40wt oil
hole 3 on tower
1.5mm vert shim
3mm horizontal shim
1mm width shim
1.5mm roll center shims
3mm behind wishbone for wheelbase
short lenght mid width ackerman 1 hole forward
spool
rear
35wt oil
2mm vert shim
2,5mm horizontal shim
2mm roll center shims
mid wheelbase
3 deg toe in
this set up was on med traction carpet on muchmore 32 tyres
hope this helps

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?

Now if we could only get Schumacher to make it right, but I've been asking for years
Is that Wright???
width shim=Screw Block Spacers
vertical shim & horizontal shim=Link Washer (horizontal&ver.)
roll center shims=Pivot Block spacers
Cheers

Got it. I just got 10 mm from you saying you took 4 mm off from the shorter ball cups which measured about 14 mm on my car. In the end all that matters is that you have a cup thats roughly 11-12-13 mm. I am a bit bewildred as to how you got your shock length down to 59.5 mm though. I couldn't get past 60.5 with the cup threaded as far in as I coud get it. Weird . . .

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.

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

I definately felt the difference in my car at the ROAR nats between mod and 19t. I was using the stock 6 cell chassis, front 5 cells for mod, 6 cells for stock. The mod car was definately more responsive, the 6 cell car was a bit more sluggish in the corners. I never really worried much about the weight of the car before that race, but after feeling the difference firsthand I try to get the weight down now.
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.

Hope this helps, sorry for the poor image quality.
My corally connecter clears the belt quite confortably
