Heres the picrures of what I did. Basically a .375 alluminum plate with 4m holes drilled and tapped in the bottom edge. They line up with the nitro motor mount adjustment holes in the stock savage plate. Then I took a piece of scrap CF angle I had and mad a bottom for the mount that goes under the motor and holes to allow it to be fatened in the other 2 stock motor mount adjustment holes. Accross the front to hold the motor I used a couple G-maxx motor mount plates I had sitting around. They are doubled up and should be plenty strong considering the motor is sresting on the bottom CF plate so its supported all the way back.

Its a tight fit but it works. Not a ton of room for adjustment under there. The motor can is all the way against the side chssis plate and resting on the bottom mount. I wanted to use a 24T oinion cuz I'm running a 2 speed and first gear is low, but it wont fit. The biggest gear I can fit is a 20T, maybe 22T but I dont have one to try.

Anyway, hope this helps.

thanks jhautz the pics help. i'm not sure but is one of the tvp's removed in that last pic? or am i just missing it. i like what you have done i'm just looking for ideas. you mentioned about the 20t or 22t pinion, from my experience with mine the 20t made it difficult to handle with a 47t spur gear and an 7xl motor. now i run an 18t and it is still wicked fast it could be faster but the track i run on is tight. and better control makes for faster lap times.

No, the TVPs are both on in all of the picures. the esc mounting plate is mounted on top of the fuel tank side so it kinda hides it in the pictures.

I'm running the plastic 49T spur so with the 47T spur it might allow an extra tooth on the pinion. This is going to be a pure basher and that means speed is fun. :018: Much less worried about control.
