Who makes that motor mount/center diff mount you have? Or is it a 1 off custom setup that you had made?

It's an older version of Mike's CD mount.

I'd go w/ the neu just because of the high kv of the BM motor. If the truck was gonna run on a 4s or 5s setup I'd choose the BM.

I will be running the truck on 8s, and trying to sort out how to put a mechanical break on there some where. I was thinking of mounting four wheel disc brakes like a baja but i dont think it would work

Yeah the Plettenberg motors are pretty sweet and make great power. I had the regular maxximum in my strr for a while that would wheely like no tomorrow regardless of setup.

The motor and speedy are readily available from www.icare-rc.com Eteinne is great guy and his prices are the best around.

I have been told that the motor brakes on the Schulze are actually very good, i just dont want to see my speedy go up in flames. This same sort of setup as seen no less than 5 speed controllers let go. 1 Quark monster pro (caught fire and turned to dust) 1 MMM also caught fire and turned to dust, 2 MGM 28025 Z series have glitched and done what they wanted. I quickly turned them off and when i turned them on a small white puff of smoke came out. When i sent the first one in for repair they said one whole phase of phets was gone. And a replacement MMM had a motor wire come out and short on the speed controller whilst doing about 45mph

No the max geared 16/50 on 4s was unreal. That was my race set up for a season and it the MGM and the bats never got above 40C. The race mains were all 5 mins but when i bashed it for 30mins it was the same. In fact when put the MMM and 1515 1Y in it the setup ran hotter on the same gearing.

That diff mount is awesome! I want one! Did Mike actually make that? I see that both chassis have been drilled for that mount. Does that mean that you have another? That is one sweet truck you have!
