Kraton Max5 800kv combo - a few questions

[kratonwatch]

A few questions for those with the 800kv motor in the Kraton 8s

What screw did you use with the m2c bell crank? The stock one seems too long and like it will hit the drive shaft if screwed all the way in?

What size screws did you use to secure the esc to a mounting plate? I have the m2c plate and they recommend m3x6 and they seem way too short.

Anyone use double sided tape for the esc?

i believe i used stock screws for both the bell crank and mounting plate, send pic of the bell crank screw

I’m beginning the build soon, but this jumped out at me. Seems like even with the full assembly I’ll hit the drive shaft

just checked mine, with the arm on the screw does stick out but there is a mm or 2 of clearance between the driveshaft

Appreciate you checking. I’m assembling over the next few days and hoping for a smooth install

It ended up fitting just fine. I’ll keep shims in mind if I notice it touching the driveshaft
