it sure is good news, i kinda want one now.
then later on do that muggy i'm trying to get.
i hope mike start selling these motor mounts in the store like the crt mount,
same price or so.

jolly, if you wind up doing the Muggy, I might have a mount for you. I have a 3/16" thick mount that I did for mine, but decided to go 1/4". Mostly because I had the stock and was bored. It isn't pretty, but very functional. No flexing problems either.

I say "might," because someone pm'd me about it and I responded, but he hasn't gotten back to me since Monday. If I don't hear from him soon, it'll be up for grabs. I'm all for promoting this brushless thing.





The mount attaches to the center diff at five points, and is very rigid.


***Geez, don't know what I was thinking. Sorry for the off topic/hijack.

The only catch is this. If/when you get a better mount, you pass this one on to someone else that could use it at no charge and under the same conditions.

+1? 1 dollar to help glass make his nitro turn into brushless?

[Procharged5.0]

Sure! We can all collect $1 from all members to help Glassdoctor cover the "Medical Expenses" for the brushless conversion.

Then it's my turn!

I asked him too, he said about 2 weeks and he will put them in the store. he is also working on a battery mount so I will probably end up picking that up aswell.

now I will just have to figure out what kind of gearing for the truggy. GD what gearing do you run in the crt when you run the 1515 motor? that is most likely the motor I will be picking up. thanks

hey,

any news on your motor/diff mounts?

is it still nitro?:mad:1

I just had the opportunity to see a 8T in action, at a track in north Ga and to say i'm impressed is an understatement. it was so hooked up it looked like a slotcar and was handling the bumps and jumps like nothing. It was easily the class of the field, I'm not sure where he finished (i believe a podium) but he put on a whale of a show. On one particular jump, he was getting about 7 ft up and about 20 ft out, and this was racing.

starting a new job on monday aswell.
