:p OK, so I'm blind! This is the one I'm talking about:

I know you've added those angled bar supports in a previous pic since the one above was taken, but it seems that the motor mount itself is kinda precarious - like there isn't enough stuff holding it in place.

well, i have the back of the motor supported

Still think it could use some support though, but nice job!

Actually, I think the motor might be moving back and forth (front-to-back). It seems like there is enough up/down support. You gotta remember the forces the motor mount is subjected to. What might seem a solid mount by a test "wiggle" may move all over the place when the motor is running and the truck is bouncing all over the place...

Hey, I have that same dryer! Oh yah, nice truck too.

Nice work man!

Brian;

Looks like he is using a horizontal brace on the front plate (actual motorplate)

But that's not supporting the entire motor. Try to hook up a brace that actually connects the motor to the front or rear bulk.

I agree, the motor plate should be thick above 2mm thick, and extend down to the chassis, if there is material below it? I can't tell. You would be better making a bigger motor mount, instead of front and read 'lighter' supports. It seems like it might just snap it if have a really good landing/crash/roll over.

Nevertheless, the motor mount does look kinda kickass in a way.

If the chassis flexes any it will pull the mount off a little. A little with alot of
pressure is not good. Just an idea.

well, I think I might have an idea to fix the chassis flex.

In the picture below, the red lines represent aluminum angle. If I connect the front and back bulks I think that will get rid of any chassis flex back and forth; Which is the problem. :eek:

After I'm done with my homework, I'll put on those chassis braces...
