Sylverster, thank you. The body mounts are made out of PVC (the gray plates, avaiable as sheets of various thicknesses), PP (the black posts, available as rods) and alu (the "mount" for the PVC plate on my front bodymount)

Coolhand, long story there. Short version is this: I bought a 5S2P setup (as two 3S packs and two 2S packs) but one 3S pack was bad, had a too low voltage right out of the box. Had to send it back, and even had to pay 50% to get it replaced. (says alot when they can't stand behind their packs) Mind you, the pack was never used, but maybe they haven't believed me.
Anyway, got a new 3S pack one month later, only to find that it drains twice as fast as it's neighbor in a 2P configuration.... maxamp offered me to replace it again, or get a lousy 15% discount on a new set. Junk, IMHO.

So for now, if I don't want to set my truck on fire or whatnot, I only use 75% of the capacity, and it's fine. Still an awesome runtime, but those packs just don't cut it anymore for me. I think I found a better solution.

However, lesson learned. On this truck I only used top of the line stuff, and everything else will still get replaced. Now I will get proper cells, quality has its price.
