Converting Profiles to Electric
I have an interesting new hobby, it's trying to convert 5 pound glow profiles to electric. I'm on profile number two right now. I have been taking pictures so I thought I would show how I made a mount for my BL motor. It's not that hard and so far it has held up on 2 really torquey motors. This was my first attempt. The second one looks a lot nicer.
I have had to cut the "mouth" of the motor mount on both of the profiles I have converted.
Then I took some nice hardwood and made 4 pieces of triangle stock.
I have a piece of ply under the triangle stock. This might be over kill but I thought it would need it.
Then I put ply on the front. I even angled the triangle stock for some right thrust.
I had to drill a hole in the ply for the shaft to go through.
I covered everything.
I mounted my AXI.
And that's it.
