I finally got the G160 electric motor from Hobbyking. They sent the motor but did not include the motor mount or the prop adapter, I contacted them about the incomplete order and missing parts, what a hassle going back and forth with them for the parts.. Finally I placed another order for parts which I hoped would fit on the G160 since they did not have anything listed specifically for the G160.
I got the motor mount which aligns and fits, the prop adapter bolts are to short, I am hoping it will work just a matter of getting longer metric screws.
The prior photo shows the engine pod I was going to use with the 30cc gasser, I have replaced it with another pod which will fit further forward for the electric since it has a shorter prop shaft. I ordered couple different replacement cowls from TowerHobbies to see which would make a good fit, as it turned out the cowl for their TwinStar should work with the front cut off.
