New Motor Mount Idea...

[pinkpanda3310]

Is it just me or are those elite-rc mounts a losi ripoff?

There's some contraptions getting around now but the more moving parts the weaker it will be generally. The integy mount is laughable

They might be a "ripoff" if they were a lesser design, but the Elite's are better than the Losi mounts. The Elite has a space to put a 5X10 bearing in the monoblock to align and support the shaft. The Elite mount has provision for using either 3MM motor screws or 4MM motor screws. It takes regular socket head screws so you can use a 2.5MM wrench for the 3MM screws and get them tighter than the Losi which uses flat head screws and thus limits you to a 2MM wrench. You can use two screws hold the monoblock in the mount instead of only one with the Losi.

These observations are from owning both Losi and Eelite mounts for the Ten-SCTE. The Elite is a significant improvement, not a ripoff.
