Yeah, the high speed idler is great for any of us running 1600kv motors on 6s. The std flux idler is better suited to the higher rpm of the 2200kv motor. I plan to get another idler setup as one savvy will run the 1717 and the other will run the 1520. Bith the same kv so gearing will be about the same.

As for the GH bulks, aside from the thread issue (I have not checked the other bulk yet to see if it is the same) they fit perfectly. Hinge pins slide right in, arms fir nicely, the arms braces bolt right on, diffs fit very well, only need 1 shim on the pinion to take up the slack (put it behind the drive cup on the outside). Bearings fit tight, and all of the hardware was correct out of the packet. They do add weight, but I really do not see the diffs wearing or breaking due to flex, these bulks are sturdy.

I will take some pics of the assembled and unassembled bulks tomorrow.
