Can anyone who has installed the new beast mech inserts from the update kit comment on how they fit in relation to the spider mech? I installed one of these earlier this week, and it was rubbing against the front of the spider model, since there was a decent degree of overlap between it and the plastic. There doesn't really seem to be a straightforward way to bend the assembly back so it clears the plastic, even though there seems to be space. Still waiting on a response from JJP, but I'd be interested in seeing whether other games have the same clearances.

Yes, but it takes some work. There's a sweet spot on the switches, and I've managed to get them all registering front and back hits, although you DO need some velocity on a backstab. For the top ones, it'll register ramp turnarounds, and for the bottom ones, it'll get loop hits. The Warg is a little under-sensitive right now, but otherwise they seem to work OK. You're probably never going to get really slow hits registering from the back.

I have had problems with the mechs getting stuck on the plastic inserts, but that was a matter of bending the bracket a little so it doesn't catch.

See the red circled one in the attached picture. It was already curved, but in this case, it was jamming behind the insert. I bent it forward a little so that it impacted the plastic instead. The other thing to watch out for though is that it can also bind against the screw, so it's a fine adjustment.

Good idea-if mine stick again, I'll do the same.
