Ok, pretty much finished with this project. My motor mount is done, and I have made an esc mount plate for the quark airmaster 125. Wired it up, and set my new futaba 3pm to mix the brake channel (3rd) with the throttle channel (2nd). I programmed the esc and it works great. Nice that the brake servo does not move with the throttle, only when braking. I will have to do this mod with my revo too.

Everything looked good, so I put the car on a stand and tried it out. The 3 shoes clutch seems to work well, but there was an odd noise. After much investigaton I found that the tekno elktri-clutch was wobbling on the motor shaft. Took it apart and found that the 5mm hole was slightly too big, allowing the adapter to move on the motor shaft. I even tried it on other motors and it was too loose on them too. I contacted tekno and they are going to ship me another one. Good service and a very quick reply to my emails.

Looks like this one is on the back burner, maybe the tmaxx parts will show up and I can finish it first!
