anyone
im ready to start mounting the elect motor iv lookesd at all my elect cars and none really have the mount that i need is everyone fab their own or is ther a rc car that has a good motor mount to use for nitro-elect conversion



man that thing was a wreck the diffs were toast looked like the gears went thrue a grinder the diff lube was just like glitter glue lol

ive rebuilt the diffs cleaned the nasty nitro fuel off the chassis and if i dont get any replies soon im just going to slap the .15 back in her and let her rip lol

grab a DI mounting bracket and 2 T or L brackets if you can find them

discgolfer72

what do u mean by di

I converted a traxxas emax motor plate to fit and it worked perfect on an RD logics buggy.

Dark impact motor mount its like $5 and you can make the l or t brackets

discgolfer72

cool thanks im guessing its just a standard flat motor mount

i actually have some l brackets from a orignial rc10 msc mount ill prob use them

hopefully going elect will make these diffs last longer with the nitro .15 the thing breaks at least one (if not all )parts of the diff each run its a pos smarttech i got of ebay for like 15 $ but with all te replacement parts ive had to buy im up to about 100$

or if u get the 2speed elect tranny the stock ones should work u would just need to fab a mount to keep it in place

discgolfer72

lol yea but thoes tings are like 60$ on ebay ive already dumped to much in this pos im just trying to get this thing to run ok and get some use out of it for all the money ive spent

i think ill just go with a di or some other motor mount and fab some sort of bracket to support it guess ill have to head to the hobby store and see what they have in motor mounts

then just stick my green machine motor i have laying around here and and one of my cheapo tazer esc's and it will be great for when freinds ask to drive one of my cars lol

DriftingDragon

you can also use a fine design mounting braces or get a generic 540 mount from off-shore electric.
