novak battery trays

custom CF chassis
tekin 1400
after a little playing around, I decided to go with a duel pack layout like the caster.
can anyone conferm that the H9 center diff is SHORTER? |
Hey Whitrzac, got your 4mm holes drilled..

Gosh and I just bought a new mount from mike for the 808. Hmmm  |
Thanks Desert RC for your compliments, I use to have 2 threads on this message board with pictures & details of my MP9 & MBX6T, but some how it was deleted or magically disappeared TWICE, kinda funny, but I'm glad you found it elsewhere

Nothing against those mounts(or Brandon, who used to be a good customer) - they look nice - and the top screw access is a nice feature on paper, but how often do you really change the pinion(and when you do, my mounts only require 1/2 turn with an l wrench to remove the motor)?
The 7075 vs 6061 thing is more marketing than anything else - either material is sufficient on these items. On a part this small, the cost difference is within a buck or two. Technically the 7075 is stronger, but also heavier. I choose to use 6061 because the 7075 is not needed - the strength is in the design(several thousand mounts sold and 12 +/- bent - way less than 1% failure rate). I do encourage you to try whatever you like, but perhaps you can reserve judgement on which one you like better until after you try both. :)

Hey Mike, nice to see you're optimistic about my product, kinda contradicting yourself don't you think, never tried my mount but you're certain about it's design & durability.. It's kinda harsh to compare my product with a mount that is cast not machined & massed produced in China..Maybe you should buy one of my mounts & use it maybe then you'll see the engineering behind it, maybe you'll like it
. Oh by the way, Linerv from RCTECH is wondering why you're denying him to join your message board, he wants to point out his concerns regarding his bent/twisted 808 mount he bought from you..

You want a light weight easy to work on on buggy take a look at my 808 you remove 4 screws and loose the two motor screw a half turn, and cut one zip tie on the rx and bingo you have just stripped the entire car's electronics, dont unplug anything just comes right off.....in less than minute, makes its SOOO easy to clean between rounds.

Hi Rootar, I'm Brandon from Elite RC, I don't blame you for feeling the way you do about Losi mounts, I know you might think my mounts are similar but it's designed to lock in place like a pressure cam lock, and have no play whatsoever, even through time, I had sponsored drivers use my product with zero issues, they even claim it to be the best mount ever.. I mean everyone has there own opinion, if you're happy with your setup then stick with it.
Just keep this in mind, don't knock it till you try it
