Sweet! Mike must be busy making all these mounts to list them this quickly! I imagine we'll see an announcement when he's done making the mounts that he has plans for...

gixxer 04.06.2007 07:39 AM

looks great. these mounts should make it easy for people to do conversions and then whip some nitro butt.

MetalMan 04.06.2007 12:17 PM

Damn, that is a very nice looking mount...

A4DTM 04.06.2007 12:36 PM

there shouldn't be any problem mounting the motor front left, with this mount, correct?

skellyo 04.06.2007 06:20 PM

Mike priced these so well that I decided to buy a Neu 1515 while I was buying my 2 mounts!

i'm about to order one, but am curious why the description only states one mounting location while his CRT mount lists the two possible locations..

The only reason I think it might not be mountable in the front of the chassis, opposite the servo, is that the mount might extend past the chassis edge where it angles upward. A quick e-mail to Mike should answer the question though.

Personally, I like the idea of the motor behind the servo and batteries on the opposite side in order to better balance the chassis. Otherwise, you could end up with as much as ~14oz of more weight on one side than the other depending on how you mount your batteries.

I think he posted it there yesterday, but really amazing work. This is great especially for me, because I don't have the tools nor the materials to make a motor mount at home, and with these, they are priced great and the best quality out there.:027: Now I'll have plenty of options for my next rc (truggy).

This mount looks awesome, it makes mine look outdated already, and I just got it from Mike less than a month ago! I don't think this mount works to the left-front location, because when I got mine he asked me where I wanted to mount my motor. Also, there is not really enough room to mount an XL motor to the front left. Mine would not fit, but I bet that a motor that had wires coming out the side instead of the end would fit there.

I hope he could do a motor mount for the Mugen buggies and truggies very soon.
BTW, how much time does this saves one while he is converting a nitro vehicle?

nativepaul 04.07.2007 06:28 AM

Personaly it will save mt most of a day, out shoping for metal, taps and a vice.
And probably another full day of hard work sawing fileing measuring and taping, and maybe some money.

If I had a full workshop it may only save a couple of hours.

hmm well i ordered one, so we'll see.. i'm running two battery packs, that's why i need a front left position on the motor.

i can't seem to find a pinion puller at any hobby shop, except for the one that's closed for a week.. so I'll try it with the 9L, and then swap my 1512 2.5d in.. need to find a way to mount batteries.. I've been putting that step off till last.
