Lehner's new generation highenders...

I agree totally, on all accounts. That new can design is pure beauty- I wonder if anyone else will alter their designs in the future? We live in hope...

It looks like that motor design is pretty much for aircraft and hydro. It wold be nice if they came out with a closed can like the original and had longer screw threads. I would also like to see someone come out with some kind of rear end bell support to the chassis so the end of the motor doesn't float. Even the best attachment at the front motor mount will have some flex on big impacts.

Lehner has "motor clamps" for their 15, 19, 22 and 30 series motors.

I saw them listed on this german webshop.

Not bad. Now if there was something that would allow a little adjustment up or down depending on how your motor is mounted. But that's kind of what I had in mind to keep the rear of the motor from moving around.

Those clamps have been around a while for the 19xx series motors. I have a set that came from FD a quite while back already. They do the job OK, but I still prefer the front plate mounting for ease of adjustability.

Using the motor as a chassis brace?? I rather have them "floating", to allow for some chassis flex. Needs sturdy motormounts, that's true.

Well, I can tell you what I did on my last truggy was to simply wrap the rear end bell a couple times with some narrow electrical tape. Can't even see it on the Neu motor. What that did is allow some kind of cushioning at the rear of the motor so the chassis wouldn't get all beat up. That's probably all I'll do for future too. Just thought it would be cool if there was something else out there that didn't look as ghetto.

What i do on my motors is cut down some 1/2 inch expanded pvc & slide that under the motor then attach it to the chassis it works great.
