I hacked up my plastic part as well until I decided it just wasn't right for me - only about an hour of wasted effort. :rolleyes: As far as two speed tranny, that was the first thing I removed. You'd be surprised, it saves quite a bit of weight. Plus, I wanted reverse. The single speed ratio falls pretty much right in the middle of what the first and second gear ratio was. I figure I can make up the speed with gearing and/or a faster motor. Do you have any pictures? I won't steal any ideas, honest. Just curious how things are laid out and what a BL motor looks like in there. :) What did Joe (is he a forum member?) use for the motor mount? I plan on using some 3-4mm thick angle 6061 aluminum.
