Hey guys,
Couple of thoughts.
1) To use the stock transmission means using a chassis mounted motor as far as I can tell. I really looked at ways to try and mount the motor to the gear box but I don't see an easy and sturdy way to do it. Love to see ideas on how you guys did it with the stock tranny if you figured it out.
2) The mount I designed could be redesigned to be pushed forward by just over .25 inches if the spacer wasn't used, I don't know however if this makes enough room to clear the larger motors, and it would require even more redesign to accomodate smaller gear ratios. It can be done but I frankly don't have time to do it unless I know there will be enough people buying them (just too many projects in the que and regular work has been killing me)
3) I looked at other ways to try and mount the motor towards the center of the chassis but it puts the motor up higher if you go over the shocks for example, and it will be difficult do this in a way that makes it sturdy.
4) I am open to ideas but to effectively machine something for these bigger can motors, I need the gears and a bigger motor. If there is a popular motor (or standard size and gear), I could work something up if there is enough interest and someone who could lend the motor/gear for a few weeks.
I welcome any comments, ideas, or thoughts.
