I calced an angle that would lay the most flat and off to one side, but be flexible enough for a variety of gearing options. What its rly designed to do is have the motor going fwd, leaving back open for batts, and space on the side for the str servo. God knows just how it all would end up fitting together w/o some prototyping 1st. Unless you've got access to cheap machining, its an expensive process

Yeah it is too narrow to fit the motor if the mount lay flat on the side of CD. Plus, the drive shaft will have to be positioned at a certain angle which will cause inefficiency and stress to the drive train. What I meant by motor at the center was the motor is positioned right on top of the center diff.
Really hope that Mike can start working on that CD mount for the emaxx. With this mount, the CD can be easily fitted on the Savage. But even then, my guess the mount would still cost around $60-$70.
