I picked this up off RcTech to toy with and build. The guy I got it from had converted it to electric but I really don't care for his motor mount solution so I will be using a RcMonster motor mount to replace his mount and a Castle 1717.

Here are some pics of it when I got it.


The last guy's homemade motor mount.




Next I picked up a NIB 5mm shaft Castle 1717.








My rcmonster motor mount and pinion came in today. When I bought the mount I knew it could only fit up to a 48mm can motor whereas the 1717 is like 49.5mm with the fins so I will be making a spacer to space the mount up so the 1717 will fit the mount. I plan on making the spacer tonight so if the weather holds out I might be able to do a 3s test run tomorrow.

Here is the mount.
