What's the fun in that. You could make this brace idea very simple. You don't need that big arc over the motor which connect's to the chassis. It could be half the size with 2 hole's which connect's to the brace/ ring on the motor.
I only did it in this design so the arc would match up to the one's above the diff. My first idea was to let those carbon stick's cover the motor too, but that won't work. Another plus about the arc is that it act's like a motor roll-cage.
If you really want such a simple yet effective motor brace, I could make you one. Laser cut aluminium.
OK. Got the 1515 installed... I think I'm gonna try running without a rear brace for a while and see what happens. It looks like it should be OK and there is just no damn room to put anything under the motor at this point. The rear suspension is literally right under the motor. Only a few mm clearance between the bottom of the motor and the springs. These revos sure don't have much room. You pretty much just have to pack it in there and make it work.
Side note... I just went from a 9XL to the 1515-2.5d. Just got in one 2 minute run in the dark to test the setup and reprogram the radio and ESC etc.... Can I say..... :dft008: Holly CR@P!!:010: In just a little short run I can tell a huge difference. Way more torque then the 9XL. And the 4 pole is unbelievably smooth at low speeds. Not even a hint of a cog. Can't wait to get in some runtime on it this weekend.:027:
I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
