Just curious how you all are mounting your MMMs on the Gorillamaxx chassis. Please post pictures. Thanks.

Hey thanks for everyone posting their mounting techniques. I have the latest Revo Gorillamaxx chassis and room for the large MMM is limited....and it has been somewhat of a pain trying to find a good place/method to mount the controller.

I actually played with that scheme, but I plan to mount a 1521 and the motor becomes a problem. I am going to try and flip the tranny and see if that works.

Personally I run the transmission in the other direction and use the second ear to hold a mounting plate...

I too like the motor to point to the rear so that there is room for my old & large rx in the front- just using heavyduty velcro to stick the MMM to the rear plate (maxx rather than revo version chassis).

Yep! I think I figured a way to do this and keep it looking factory. I had to order another G-Maxx EVX CF plate and I need to wait until traxxas releases the MMM mounting bracket but it will be worth it. I have been working on this truck off and on for over a year so another month or so isn't going to kill me.

I thought that you had a revo. That truck looks awesome! I think that I might have bought my slipper from you on ebay a while ago. Anyway, here is how I mounted my ESC:

Yeah...my wife's ebay account is luv2shop530 and we did sell that slipper awhile back. I hope you are happy with it. I hated to part with it and the sprong but it is soo hard to buy slipper pads these days.

You also have a nice set up. I like your stainless steel Traxxas axles/CVDs. Are you happy with them? I was thinking of upgrading to those if my stockers don't hold up. I do have the RD Racing 8mm axles and 17mm hubs...but that doesn't help the stress at the CV joints.

By the way...how about posting multiple angles of your MMM mount?
