1:10 or 1:12 scale project wanted...

I like it so far!

I bet it will be a fun ride!

Why didn't you made the motormount of perfect 90 degree stock aluminum (without the round corner) so the motor sits on the bottom of the lower plate? it gives it a nice stability.

Allthough you would need two straight slots to move the motor instead of 1 round slot with 1 hole.

Three reasons: 1) I already had the stock, 2) when I ordered the angle, the only thing available in 6061-T6 at onlinemetals was the one with the rounded corner, and 3) I wouldn't be able to use stock screw locations to tie down the mount to the chassis because the motor would hit the screw ends.

And yes, I would have to "machine" two slots instead of one (and one was bad enough!). Even so, there is virtually no flex in the mount, so I think I should be fine.
