nice job , looks trick

Well done. looks like some good work to me. Doesn't the aluminum serve as a heat sink in a way? If so, wont you lose some of that extra cooling?

yes im sure the Aluminum Mount does act as a heat-sink, but the E-revo already has a designated motor heat sink. This combined with the fact that my motor runs pretty cool on the voltages it receives makes me think it should be fine. Heck, if i notice that the motor temp jumps by 30 degrees then ill put the aluminum one back on, but i dont think that tat will be the case.

Motor Mount is Finished!!
 
Here is my finished product, I decided that some additional support to the Motor Heatsink would help with the stiffness even more....And i was right!!! This thing is super stiff, feels like i could stand on my motor if i wanted too!!

on too the Pics:

Very nice shizzon!

Very nice indeed. Really does look like an optional aftermarket part its so well finsied- you really should do some 3906 mounts and sell them on the bay- 'advertise' on the idiot forum and you'll soon be raking it in... :yes:

Thanks alot guys, its always nice to have something you put some effort into complimented. As far as making these for prophit goes I'm not sure if I have time with my current class load, but it is an idea for something to do during summer break.

Always Dreamin 05.09.2009 09:03 PM

Very nice pics of the installation... you should make a biz out of it.

TexasSP 05.09.2009 09:58 PM

Wow, all I can say is nice work. I have had machinists that work for me that couldn't do that well with professional equipment.

maxair45 05.10.2009 01:52 PM

What type of protection did you take when cutting it? Looks awsome, great job!

shizzon 05.10.2009 02:01 PM

i have to say that i did not take enough....when cutting i wore safety glasses and covered my mouth and nose with my shirt. this wasnt enough because i have been coughing up black spit!!! im definitely going to invest in proper protection before i do any more cutting

suicideneil 05.10.2009 02:32 PM

I doubt a rubber johny would have saved him if his dremel slipped...

shizzon 05.10.2009 02:35 PM

well i used one of those too, just not for the dremel. I cant stand taking piss breaks!!!! J/k :lol:
