I finally made some progress on my truggy. I got the motor mount finished and installed last night. I debated with myself for a long time about the best layout, and I finally decided to scrap the mechanical brakes. They were just taking up too much room. Plus, I decided to mount the motor over the differential, and the brakes were in the way. The reason I put the motor on top was so there would be room to mount the Quark directly to the chassis to use it as a giant heat sink. Plus, mounting the motor on top will allow additional air flow around it if I cut a hole in the windshield. The mount has four bolts in it. Two bolts secure it to the diff mount using the caliper mounting holes, and two more bolts secure it to the chassis from underneath. The Quark and the batteries are currently just sitting loose on the chassis in the second picture. The batteries will be held down by Gorilla straps, and the Quark will be bolted to the chassis with an aluminum plate. I should have the truck ready to go sometime this week.
