I've considered quite a few motor mounts for the project. The motor will be mounted directly to one of the TVPs.

Stock Flux clamps - Will work but the bolt side has to go up to avoid the center shaft and one of them must be modified to fit the 42mm front of the Tekin motor.

Vorza motor mount - No go. No way to modify it to fit a Tekin motor. It's just to thin and the mounting points are wider apart then i thought and not symmetrical. You can also only mount a motor one way around in this mount.


Tekno motor mount - There is one made specifically for 42mm motor. I'm not a fan of front secured mounts but at least it has the cage to back it up. It will require a little grinding on the corners due to the angle it makes to the center diff drive cup.


What would be great is this mount but made for 40/42mm. Basically a stock flux clamp but without the unecessary bolt bit jutting out one side. I've sent a mail to Mike asking if he can make them. Didn't get a reply to the previous mail i sent asking about modifying a stock mount so i'm not holding my breath.
