Are you guys talking about a mount that looks something like that... What if it actually replaced the rear diff mount and brought the motor a little bit closer to the spur... ;) We're in the redesigning stage at the moment... these ones work fine. But we'll get something even better.. hehe

YES! How much? Even in it's current form, as long as it fit's the CRT's diff it would work great. It forces the motor and spur to be on the exact same plane in two dimensions. As it is now, my current mout can be off a bit in two dimensions - sounds crazy but it's true. If that one would work for my CRT I would love to buy it...please advise!

And thanks! If it does work I know at least 4 other guys who will want one as well....

That's great I was thinking of getting A CRT and doing a conversion myself. I was thinking that I would nice to have a one piece diff mount and motor mount. It's is hard to accomplish that with a drill press and dremel. It can be done, but if you make somthing like that I would rather buy it from you. keep us posted!!!

@ mac have you a video from your car?
or can you post some pics of the jammin?

how long is teh drive time of the lipos?

These are quite easy to make, actually. I recently made one for the XLB buggy for another member(pictures are around here somewhere in the brushless forums). I could bust one out with a picture if you want, Dave. :)

Well here is what I have came up with so far with my CRT conversion I made my own mount and mounted it to the diff and bottom of the chassis along with the top plate the motor mount should be strong enough to take some abuse. I like the one peice design from Scyan simple and strong. :)

Here's the parts I'm starting with-
Neu 1515 1y motor
Mamba max ESC
2-2s3p 9000mah Maxamps lipo packs
6v UBEC
Ice charger
Kyosho 46t plastic spur gear
I found some aluminum center diff mounts on Ebay for 28 bucks for the Jammin buggy and CRT

I cant wait to see the look on the nitro guys faces when they get smoked by a electric CRT:005:

I'm starting a CRT conversion and I'm curious what pinion are you guys using with the Kyosho 46t plastic spur gear? my motor is going to be a Neu 1515 1y on 4s and a Quark 125B esc.

I was trying the worst case senairo first and I noticed that if I put I put a 9T pinion on the motor and hold it in place the motor hits the diff cup before you can get proper mesh.

I'd been using a bunch of Mod1 Pinions from Century Helicoptor Products. I've use the 9 tooth and the 46 spur. Also gone as high as the 12 tooth. I also did the LSP diff swap for the lower ratio.

I heard from several persons that these pinions are not as hardened as hardened should be. What's your experience with these pinions? and do you use them with a steel spur?

Ok I have a small tip if you havent tried it yet.

I stipped out TONS of gears like what is happening here. My fix was to simply support the front and rear of the motor. The gears strip under race condition upon impact off jumps. The SLIGHTEST little flex of the motor causes the pinion to strip.

I have done 2 different fixes so far.

Front and rear of the motor. Use aluminum angle and drill it out to the exact size of the motor and bolt it down to the chassy. You will not get any flex of sudden movment. Since I did this I can run 1 set of gears for 10 or more races.

I also used a monster heat sink. I simply drilled a straight piece of aluminum to fit his mounting hole for rear support.

Try those you should get results.

Who are you referring to?

The diameter of the Neu 1515 1y is wider than other motors and when I hold the motor in place, the smallest pinion I think I would be able to use with a 46T spur is a 11-12T otherwise the motor hits the center diff cup. The other option is use the 46T spur to adapt on a Ofna 51T spur. Or even have an adapter made. If I use a 51T there are a lot more gearing choices. I'm starting to think that would be the best option.
