Got my first "rough draft" mount done while at work today. I definitely learned a lot while making it. It works for the stock gear set, but has almost no movement since I botched the drilling of the mounting holes on the bottom. If I ever want to run a different pinion, like a 25t, I'll have to slot the motor mount bolts so I can get more side to side adjust ability.

It's a part from kershaw designs it comes in the spring washer kit. I'm not exactly sure what the red piece is called though.

Should have complete build pics later today/tonight
Just finishing the little stuff today, had to jump through hoops to get a top control arm to work w/the HPI aluminum axle carriers and FLM bulks, everything was to long or to short.
So I had to make my own, PITA ! :whip::whip:

It will be interesting to see what kind of benefits\drawbacks eventuate from running a motor of this size in a Savage truck.

Finially finished the entire assembly, Had insomnia last night and was balanceing tires at 4am. I haven't ben feeling the greatest the last couple days so I may not test until Monday or Tuesday ?

I installed the ESC(pulled red wire) , 1200mah 2s ThunderPower RX battery and RX on battery tray, lots of room for electronics there.

The XL body doesn't fit to bad, Think the next thing I may consider makeing will be a roll cage for the cab and tie into the F&R shock towers ? A roll over w/this Heavy assed MoFo will destroy some Polycarbonate.
Time to look for some 1/4" 7075 solid rod and fire up my aluminum welder.

I like those wheels and tires. How much do they weigh?
