BL Savage motor mount ? - RC-Monster Forums

Mofomaxx · **BL Savage motor mount ? -** 08.26.2005, 12:19 PM

Hello again all :)

Right, iv done a search & read lots of threads, but am still undecided, though unusually not on the motor/esc.... i'll worry about that when its all together & i know how much it weighs...

Whats getting me is this, ideally i'd like to run stock 2 speed or maybe even 3 speed with mechanical brake, but as i see it that means i'll have to either buy the Sav' BL conversion kit & not use the gear set or make my own motor mount.... is there anywhere i can buy just the motor mount & battery holders without the single speed gear ?

Cheers,

Andy

You could make it yourself? the motormount can be made from L profile aluminum, and the batterie holders are from simple U profile aluminum with a few holes in them..

Easy as baking pie.... (i don't know how far your kitchen knowledge reaches though...)

Yeah i could make it myself..... sadly my personal manufacturing skills arnt great, but i have a mate with a machine shop so its not a problem, however iv dumped so much on him lately & i know he's real busy...... so since the "kit" is available i just wondered if it was available in parts ? i.e. just motor mount, or motor and batt mounts....

It would be easy i guess, is the kit motor mount decent ? is it worth me bothering trying to find ?

Just as quick update to this, if i do end up buying the conversion kit, is it anygood & where's the best place to get it online ? i'm in the UK...

Cheers

Your best of getting it from Germany, here to be precise. Mike can also get them, if you need one.

Mofomaxx · 08.26.2005, 05:48 PM

Well im all for supporting people on forums so if mike can get them;)

I think thats the way i'll go, so disregarding general savage hopups as iv owned a picco .26 powered sav' a while back, so i know how the truck will need sorting, apart from the kit do i need anything else specifically for the BL setup ? i believe i have to modify the kit gear to make it reliable ? esc/motor i'll choose once it's finished & i know what it weighs, as im not sure how "bling" it'll turn out yet.....

Does anyone have a drawing from the motormount? Scale 1:1, so I can print it out and draw it over on the aluminium plate.

Thank you!

I could draw one. you need to measure all the sizes to make it a perfect fit imo..

You want the motor to fit underneath the spur or to fit above the spur? (beneath is the way to go, lower cg gives better handling.. (less wheelies though))

Mofomaxx · 08.27.2005, 05:30 AM

That'd be really helpfull.... underneath the spur i think... ;)

Going off topic now, iv just read the "BL Buggy" thread & thoroughly checked out Ofna's www, but with no luck, just to clear something up, do you know which centre diffs actually come with a plastic/nylon/delrin spur available to bolt right on ? i'm still considering this option....

Cheers again

Link's not working im afraid mate :( .... iv been researching too, seems there are 47/48t plastic spurs available for MP7.5 .... just noticed also there a GPM 46t Delrin spur for the 7.5...

Jasper · 08.27.2005, 07:53 AM

Serum, I really appreciate it if you want to draw it for me with all the sizes!

I want the motor to fit underneath the spur.

Thank you!

@Mofo;

Search on Ebay for ofna center, and you'll find it!

Serum, sorry to be a pain in the ass !! is this compatible with the plastic spur then ? :- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OFNA-9-5-cente...QQcmdZViewItem

Mofomaxx · 08.28.2005, 09:56 AM

Sorry, just read in MGT thread 9.5 diff is no use, so this would be the one ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-OFNA-ULTRA...QQcmdZViewItem
