This mount looks awesome, it makes mine look outdated already, and I just got it from Mike less than a month ago! I don't think this mount works to the left-front location, because when I got mine he asked me where I wanted to mount my motor. Also, there is not really enough room to mount an XL motor to the front left. Mine would not fit, but I bet that a motor that had wires coming out the side instead of the end would fit there.
