frankenstein ride, I guess that's a compliment
as soon s I have a working esc I will make a new movie. this is an older one,

with a 80mm plane motor (similar to the 80mm 1300kv ammo), and a 200a plane esc. when I get my new esc I hope it's as reliable as the plane esc's. just great stuff.
the losi has about the same torque, I really like that. the 80mm motor died from heat... about 1300kv on 5s is not enough, so gearing was too long/large, unfortunately.
the idea of the composite-mount was that it's easier to build (with the tools I have). screw the carbon on the diff-mount, put the alu-braket to the right position, glue it, and do the finish. further, it is absolutely stiff and rigid, and in the perfect right angle. the aluminium bracket provides the heat transfer to the chassis.
I favor glass/carbonfiber over aluminium in many cases. like the shocktowers, just indestructible...
