MMM mount made my way. (pics inside)

I think I have a good prototype here. I was able to make it thanks to Bradleyk123 for letting me borrow his MMM v3 case! I worked on it hard today after I got home, and it was not real easy to make, that is for sure! Let me know what you guys think and if you have any ideas, you are welcome to let me know.

That is awesome! Good job!

Where do you get a pot big enough to dye a whole e-revo chassis? Oh yeah the mount looks cool and doesn't block the side air vents.

Nice work. I'd be a little nervous about the battery connector holes until I actually test fit the wires, but other than that it looks great.

I see what you are talking about. I will have to take a better look at it and see if it is just the camera angle or what. Thanks for pointing that out.

I went to Wal-mart and got a big aluminum cooking tub thing.... The disposable type and used it.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I think you did an awesome job but I kind of like the quick release of the other one just in case you "fireitup"

Carraig042, you know what would make that mount perfect? A piece of mesh between the mount and case covering the fan intake. Nice work.

Nice idea! I have some window screen that I bet would work great. I might give that a try.

Yeah, but hopefully it does not. If it goes into flames you are too late anyway... One thing I did not like about that design was the O-ring (quick-release) is that if it fails, then the esc will go flying. I am trying to achieve a fail proof lightweight design as much as possible..

Keep them coming!

P.S. I fixed the area around the battery connectors. I had to trim about 2mm.

Looks great. I like the idea of a non-permanent mount myself, the esc can melt a big hole into the top of your batts while you frantically try to remove it from the chassis otherwise (the esc is dead already, you are correct about that). What about some thumb-screws like you get on PC cases, instead of allen headed bolts? Might be a,little on the large side I suppose, but if the mount is hinged on one side, you only need one screw on the other...

Both of the candidates in this years’30 presidential race are great choices, but I think that McCain will be the better of the two.

If I used those, another good idea, They will have to be 3mm sized threads. I might look and see if I can't come up with something.

The bottom plate should help with any problem like this... Hopefully

You're right, the bottom plate should prevent that issue pretty much- I think Hoov discovered it just leaves a little light smoke damage around the edges of the plate; some unfortunate member of the idiot forum wasnt so lucky and suffered some damage to his lipos as his esc was stuck to the chassis directly...

Not to mention the hole it can burn through your lid if you don't get to it fast enough........mounting a esc stationary like that is kind of like not owning a fire extinguisher in your house because you don't think you will ever have a fire

I dont really see this as being an issue. If you do have a fire, by the time you get the body off, AND find a pair of gloves, its all toast already. What part of the ESC are you going to reach those soft little pink digits into and grab to get it off??? I've made the mistake of grabbing something burning ONCE....not going to do it again....I hope....!

Nice looking mount Brett, but I would like it to be a quick release, but that's me.
The o-rings I use are industrial strength, can take heat up to 500deg..if it ever does fail it will be a 50cent replacement.. I'm currently working on my HB D8 buggy so no time for the revo..but I did design a new MMM mount, similar concept but refined..

Yeah, I am sure that the O-ring is strong, just I myself do not trust it. It is like a paranoid kind of thing I guess. I do like your design though and thought about something on those lines, but ended up coming up with a complete new design.
