Thanks for the ebay link. I'll have to see what my final physical battery configuration will be before I decide if boards are good to use for balance charging or if I should just create a harness without boards.
Yesterday I finally go the torque arms on. After sanding, grinding, and making a giant mess in the garage and in my room, I got the doctorbass torque arms on! They are on there rock solid. I got a dab of the epoxy on my gear cog and I was afraid it would get stuck to the frame so while I had the torque arms in my homemade furnace, I occasionally spun the gears to make sure the epoxy didn't stick to them.
Here are some shots:

Torque arms after curing:
I put the torque arms on one at a time and cured them one at a time. I kept the motor on the bike to make sure alignment was good and I secured the axle from getting stuck to the dropouts by wrapping the axle in plastic food wrap. The furnace was HOT, I burned myself on the spokes at one point. An hour in there for each side and the epoxy was rock solid.
I took the bike with me to Hamilton to see my parents. The city buses are on strike so I had to bike to get to the Go bus (inter-city bus). The lady almost didn't want to let me on because of the front bag but when she saw it was wired on she said it was ok. Guess she didn't care about the motor on the back as they aren't supposed to allow electric bikes on the bus rack, so I'm already rockin' the stealth I guess 8)
For the next few days I'll ride around on the current setup and then swap the two unused lipos so that they can get cycled too. After that, it's time to go full scale with the Hua Tong
