I reworked my rear motor support system with the other half of the HPI Flux motor mount I had left. The screw for tightening the clamp and the screw that goes through the bracket to support the motor are now on the same side and I think it looks better and cleaner. This system is working extremely well by the way.

You might notice that there's a little bit of a rough edge in the opening of the top chassis plate for the steering linkage. I had to grind a half a millimeter off to clear the linkage's ball cup. It was knocking on the side of the opening at full steering throw. I corrected the issue in my drawing and I also made the opening for the diff's output cup a little less deep so that there is more material left between that opening and the one for the steering linkage.



The more I play with this truck, the more I like it. The way it handles, the way it jumps, the power it has and how easy it is to work on. This thing should be named Permagrin.


No brain, no headaches.
