Hey guys. Just thought I'd share a few photos of Mikes latest creation. Its a new mount for the Xray XB808. Its got a new feature on it that is a first for the electric motor mounts. It is a 2 piece mount that makes the dif accessible from the top for easy maintenance and tuning.

Here are a few pictures. I ran this prototype version last week and was perfect. It wont be available in the store for a few weeks, but its comming soon. I hope he eventualy gets around to updating all of the mounts with this 2 piece desing. Its like a factory piece. Nice work Mike.

Just thought I'd share. Heres some pics.

good deal, I am glad I waited to convert an 808, does this use the 808 height mount, or do you still have to get the XB8 part?

It's sized to work with the 808 height center dif mount.

lol go to sleep

I am loving that design. If only he came out with these nice innovations earlier.

Well hopefully by my next conversion, all the mounts will be like this.

Great job Mike!

Wow! I think this is the first time for him to cut a motor mount out of a 7075 grade aluminum. It'll be a bit expensive that way, but stronger for sure.

Thats pretty nifty! I like it!

Looks expensive LOL, might as well anodize them black to! =)

Looks very nice indeed! Jeff, can you tell if the mount is spaced such that you could fit mechanical brakes without a spacer (when using smaller pinions)?

That looks sweet

No. You would still need the motor spacer if you want to run small pinions with the mechanical brake disks. Its no different from any of the other motor mounts in that regard. But the spacer Mike sells works perfectly. I have been running it for a long time on my truggy and its perfect.

2pc Design is AWESOME! I hope other mounts get the 2pc treatment.

That design is perfect....easy access to diff. changing gears,etc...
