    Thanks!
    Do you recommend M4 Tnuts?

    For 40mm brackets I would need M4 8mm bolts?

    Great build, I hope mine will come out at least half as good as yours! :D
    I will also go with the sabertooth+arduino combo right from the beginning. I hope this will keep my out of a few of the common fallbacks with roasted MotoMonsters and wrong wiring. :confused:

    Do you still enjoy your current setup?
