It's been a while since I updated this post so I thought I would share my progress.
I'm working on the second concept now that is a lot stronger and probably over-kill but that's what makes it fun. My Kershaw tranny would constantly bend hardware from the weight of the motor & tranny.
I changed the hardware from 4-40 to 6-32 screws and all parts are machined from 1/4" 6061-T6 stock. It won't be light but hopefully less than my last 14.8pound Flux. The motor mount changed from vertical slots to a pivot. Easier to mesh and less chance of slipping.
Did I mention the motor also flipped 180 deg and is now in the front of the truck above the servo? The shorter universal will be in the rear where most of the torque is applied. More weight balance to help with traction as well.
