Mamba XL on Savage with FLM Forward Tranny Chassis

Hi, no, the stock FLM motor mount doesn't fit for 1717.

It is too low for 1717 diameter and it has holes for m3 screws, while the 1717 uses M4 one.

I've built a custom motor mount. Look here for some details.

Bye, andrea.

Thanks, is that motor cradle piece removable from that mount? Could the mount be made to work with the 1717 at all?

I think the only part that can be reused is the bottom plate of the FLM mount.

The front part must be replaced by a taller one and with the M4 holes, the back support must be replaced by a new (custom) one to fit the 1717 diameter.

Bye.
