Went to full website view and it showed stats... mobile was not. Same setup as I want to do. Looks great with the larger tires! What kind of mpg are you getting with is this setup? Hopefully not much of a hit?

Right now without the lift and without my speedometer being corrected, my test route that I get 25MPG on I now get 21.5MPG and thats with a 5* 87 eco tune. I'm off 10% on the speedometer, so my math tells me my MPGs are really 23. Not too bad of a drop. I take a bigger hit around town but I don't have any figures on it since the build isn't completed yet. I'll have more info once the lift gets put on.

Nevermind, I just went out there and fixed it. I'm a dumbass most of the time so this is right up my alley. All I did was remove some of the flex tube around the red/black wire from the controller and I had plenty of room to go around the battery. It looks much cleaner now. Thanks. Feel free to laugh at me.
No laughing, when I put my boards on, I measured wrong and the boards hit the body. Read the instructions again and I swear that step was not in there the first time

You and me both brother. I put one board on, went to put the other one and my wife said "how do you know where to put them since those clips move". I was hot and irritated and I said something to the effect of "I'm a man and that's where the holes line up". Then I thought crap, they move so the boards could be anywhere. Sure enough I was off. Of course she said something about the manual and I specifically said "it doesn't say sh*t in that manual about anything. they give you a hole freakin page for the posi-connector then 1 page for everything else". As I'm complaining, I hear "....should be 11 inches from...". I shut up and did what I was told at that point. Thankfully that was the last step I did.

When I installed mine on my SCAB, I did not cut them off as recommended. Makes it easier to clean the windshield.

I remember reading that for the SCab and RC that they had to be cut. I guess they ship out the same size boards for all models?

Have any of you gone back and re-tightened anything after you've driven it a week or so?

Might not be a bad idea if you're brave enough to take them out. My luck those stupid brackets would slide all over the place and I'd spill the loctite up my nose while fumbling around.

I'll give it a week and check on them. If it's a noticeable loosening I'll use the leftover Loctite after I put on my wheel spacers.
