Does the MGM Compro 160 support 4 pole motors (a neu 1515 may come one day)? Did I read it right. Does this not need a separate bec even when running 6s?

As far as motor mount goes I was going to get the Kershaw Designs one but I wanted one that mounts the engine lower for a better cg and to keep the motor out of harms way. I discovered that one of the guys at work has access to a workshop and can make me the mount. I just need to draw one up. Does anyone have a low mounting engine plate design in cad that I could possible use? I know it's a big ask as I would be copying someone else's hard work but I though I would ask.

And as far as keeping you guys posted I definitely will. As soon as I get all the bits I have ordered so I can at least put the savage back together I will post pics and weigh it so I can use the calculators that are setup on this site. This forum has been a massive help so far. I was really struggling to find any info on converting savages and the different options until I found this forum.

Edit: and as far as the CF battery mounts go I will probably go aluminium U channel. The CF is too expensive.

Etid2: To answer an earlier point to, I don't feel like destroying my savage tranny too much. I may eventually get an LST2 and move the BL setup to that and make the savage a nitro again. I think the LST2 is a better platform for a brushless setup just because the battery mounting is so much simpler. Plus it would be nice to have to monster trucks in case one breaks.
