wow so it really does move it down low and really offset, sounds good cant wait to see some pics.

Here are some comparison pics

that looks good

I've been waiting for my mount for a month now and haven't got it yet. I had hoped it would put the motor right down into the bottom of the tray. Looks like I am in for disappointment.

I ordered it because the truck is off-balance in stock form and the two choices for mounting motor are both worse than the old e-maxx. One motor higher and one motor further away from center. I'll see how it goes and cut and weld if necessary.

Well actually I dont think its too bad. By not having the motor sitting at the bottom of the tray and further out it might actually equalize the weight of the lipo. Lets say a 5s PQ 5000 mah is 646 gr and a neu 1515 finned is 360 gr. With the way the battery sits in the tray, some of the weight is more centralized and with the motor a little higher and away from the tranny and the esc on the say side it should equalize the weight of the lipo. Plus you probably wouldnt want the motor sitting down in the tray as only the top half of the motor would be a lot cooler than the bottom.

Im wondering if the revo motor mount would fix the balance issue on the new emaxx. Assuming the tranny can be flipped around to face the rear, and there are no clearance issues, that might be a nice clean solution that gives better balance.

More mount pics, balance isn't half bad with 4S or 6S packs. Bigger packs and bigger motor is in order. LOL.

One thing I like is that all weight is low , one thing I don't like is that all weight is wide.

looks good, but i was thinking about what suicideneil said and what if you did use the revo mount but DONT flip the tranny, just move the radio box an go to a single servo which most do anyways, then youd have two packs low motor and servo up front and then that huge flat space in the middl behind the tranny for the rx and esc.....kinda defeats the purpose of this thread and the single battery idea but i just thinking out loud

Think away my good man, think away. If someone has an erevo and 3905, they could essily try it and see if it works, with motor facing the front or rear (whatever fits)....

The single blue revo mount looks like it'll put motor near where the flm one does.

The stock blue one looks like it may put the motor on center.

They both look like they can be made to fit if they don't bolt on.

The finned alumunum one doesn't look like it'll fit.

I don't think my trans is backwards , but I did buy it used.

hoober you would need the stock blue revo plate in conjunction with the finned alumnium piece and the motor would sit like this and then youd be able to use both battery trays agian..... here is a stupid paint drawing i whipped up (didnt feel like screwing with CS2) this is what i was thinking, and neil was saying that if your turned your tranny around (its right the way it is now) but if you turned it around youd have the same layout as a e-revo, but here is the dumb drawing of my idea....

Yes, that looks feasible. My deal was to use my existing 6S pack as is without taking it apart. There's nearly enough room in chassis to put the battery in the middle.

Where did you get that huge Mod 1 spur?

It's a Associated monster GT , I can't remember the brand (Kimbrough or Associated) I got them to convert the old e-maxx to mod 1. I don't know why it's yellow,lol.

I know it says black, but I think this is it. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFUA5
