MMM hold down bracket?
 

I know there was one for the E Revo with the combo I believe. I would really like a hold down bracket for the ESC to put in my Slash. Anyone know of one?

Thanks

I have been looking for one aswell to finish my build. The Traxxas part number for the BL E-Revo is #5626. I have sent away an email to Traxxas to find a date when they will be in stock and have been checking eBay for the last week reguarly to see if someone is taking one apart in the many chop shops, I have had no luck yet and are waiting on a reply from Traxxas. Will post here if I find anything out.

In the past Traxxas would sell kits months before they had parts. I had a TRX1 that I has to wait 2 months before I could fix over a steering part. I would not hold my breath for the 5626.

Please do that! If I hear anything I will let you know as well!

Thanks

I have looked everywhere for the BL Revo ESC hold down also.So I made my own.Its not perfect but will work.I need to get stronger black zipties also to be realy effective.The MMM has 3M automotive 2 sided tape.:whip:

looks great man !! I've had the Traxxes hold down on order for 3 weeks. My LHS says the order bounces back because the part number is not recognised by their distributor but it's only a case of time before they get them.

Might make one of those myself - nice work

Indeed, that looks sweet phatmonk.

I have a slash and I just dremeled out the plastic parts that hold the stock esc in place. I then placed the MMM esc down on to the chassis(tight fit but will go) with some dual sided tape.This gave the esc a lower center of gravity . I had to do this because I mounted a kyosho 777 buggy body on it. My slash is a Backslash.

I like that idea. Just watch for wire chafing - carbon fiber is highly conductive.

I as well fabricated my own bracket using 1.5mm T6 6061 aluminum.

Traxxas have just listed them on their product site............out of stock at the moment, but won't be far away :yipi:

I just have to wait till someone puts them on eBay for $3 and not $40 odd as previouly sold, so I can get one (international people can't buy from Traxxas's site). Or if there is anyone out there in the good ole U S of A that would be happy to help us out when they are in stock and want to make a quick fiver then give us a PM :yes:

can anybody tell me why we can't have a buttom plate on our esc we could screw on our buggy's or trucks because in an offroad buggy i am scared of the esc getting loose in my buggy when i miss a jump is there any technical reason why we can't screw them in?

we are all messing around with velcro and zipties and 2 sided tape and i don't understand why to me it 's not safe

It is safe if it is done right. It sure would be much nicer and convenient to have a hold down bracket that is specifically made for it though. JMO

most of us are making somekind of plate for our center dif if there was some holes on our esc it would be much stronger no? and it would be so much easier to install

You can call traxxas and order the hold down bracket. I ordered 6 yesterday and they were mailed out this morning.

and it's not just castle creation that should do it but all of them i did not see any esc that we could bolt on yet

thank's i will look it up but i still think it should be in the esc itself

i just called traxxas and ordered 3 of them - 14 dollars total shipped. guys on ebay are trying to get 10!
you cant make it part of the ESC as they go into many different cars and trucks.

would you tell me what's the part number i would like to look at it before ordering

thank's guys i found it

Part # 5626

Call traxxas - they have them i ordered 3 last week
 

I called traxxas on Wed - they have them in stock despite what the website says. I ordered 3 of them should be here tomorrow!!!

I just saw one sell on Ebay for $41.00 US:gasp:

I paid 14 for THREE including shipping!
 

I paid 14 for THREE OF THEM including shipping!

Too bad freaking Traxxas does not ship to a military address or else I'll be buying 2 of them :diablo::diablo::diablo:.

Ill order 2 more and charge you 41 a piece
 

Ill order two more and charge you 41 a piece:lol:

This hold down should bolt up to where any Traxxas ESC was mounted right? Reasoning for that is it is used on the E Revo where the ESC was with MMM. That being said the mounting holes must be the same distance apart. I want to use this on a VXL Rustler with my MMM.

Hope it works out for you bud!:smile:

i have ordered one thru my hobbyshop but it's back order it seems to be selling like hotcakes i think i wasn't the only one waiting for some kind of brace

bracket available
 

buytraxxas.com has the MMM hold down bracket available now. I ordered a couple and received shipment confirmation already. Tower was still coming up as order pending.

Howdy, I'm wonderin if youv had any luck gettin a esc clamp yet? I just ordered a mmm 2200 combo with tower hobbies US, so i also backordered the clamp. Had to order 4 tho, so i'll have an extra or two. I'm in Adelaide S.A so their getn a little closer to home. I'll keep you in mind when i hear any progress.

Welcome to the forum, there is a lot more brushless info here than the TRX forum that's for sure :yes:

Yeah I'm waiting on Tower to have them in stock also, x4 on backorder for me too, I only need one but you never know what the future has in mind :lol:

The Losi 1/8 esc has screw down mounts.

I ordered 2 last week, Fedex says they'll be here Wed.
