question for Serum

[Re~Mix]

How are those mounts above the motor working out for you guys? Helps save space for mounting other things, but what do you sacrifice in strength? Thanks, nice buggy by the way.

sorry i dont understand very well your question(i am italian)if you refer to the aluminum support that goes from the support of the dif centers them to the diff front, servants for to rest the electronics(esc-rice)

[Re~Mix]

Sorry, I meant the vertical motor mount. I thought mounting it above the center differential would make it weaker than to the side.

[virusss]

ahhh ok i understand, the motor support made from 6mm high quality aluminium, and there is very very strong,we have chosen to put it over, in order to earn space,and in us it seemed also beautiful. :)

That thing will be a hand full!! that setup is nice for a heavy weight truck, so it will make that little thing fly.. You contacted Nasa?

Here's a pic of my mount, made it for my current project.

Beautiful support, where you must use?

I've found that 1/8" thick vertical motor mounts don't work, but 1/4" (6mm) work just fine. The 1/8" just bend like crazy!

1/8th would be a nice size for CF, not for aluminum. I use 6mm or 10mm thick aluminum for my mounts. for the lightning i used 5mm, and it needed a brace, to support the XL.

It pretty much depends on the weight of the motor though

Serum I wanted to ask to you that pinion it uses on the savage, and that spur, I use 18/49

ah my gearbox is locked in first gear

On this one I used 8mm alu, and the mount will be cross-braced and the rear of the motor gets an adjustable support.

Viruss, it's for a revo.

Nice craftsmanship Dafni

Thank you! Stay tuned for the finished truck!
