you want pics? i got pics. tonight i was able to get some more work done and FINALLY got the motor mounted. so here are some pics of the process and then also some pics of all the brake parts for any opinions y'all might have about how best to run the brake lines.
first, used a sharpie to mark up my drill holes.
here are the motor mount plates mounted to the chassis. using plates allows you to remove and replace the motor without losing your gear mesh
so here is the motor mounted up. as you can see it is a close fit, but then again who doesnt like a tight fit?
right now i have 15/40 on but the 12t pinion fits also.
here is the mounted plates from the bottom of the chassis. i didnt have any 5mm button head screws, which is what is supposed to be used to screw the mount to the plates, so i just used some 5mm flathead for the sake of getting some pics. as you can see its just like a tekno motor mount setup. unfortunately i put the forward slot a bit too close to the forward screw but it still works fine.
here is a 60mm fan i got for the motor but may just use a 40mm fan since it will sit right inside the square hole on top and provide enough cooling.
and as you can see despite the tight fit everything still turns freely.woohoo!
