Sooo... anyone know for sure? I hate to just throw money at it just guessing.Guess I will do the measuring ,..if anyone has the above mentioned truggy's and could check the screw hole distance,it surley would help.
Actually, the Hyper mount does not work for the Mutilator. I have them both sitting in front of me. The hole spacing is different. Props to whoever said it fits.
Jammin CR Mount with Mutilator does not work -
08.14.2009, 04:05 PM
Just got the CR motor mount at RCM and it seems as though it does not work with the Mutilator. Even if I got the Jammin CR buggy center diff braces, which you need to mount the RCM mount to the chassis unless you have some sort of 1/4'' spacer, the Mutilator spur gear would still hover over the top of the RCM mount by about 5mm so you would not be able to mount the center diff plate. Then a spacer for the RCM mount and the front diff mount would be needed to clear the 62 tooth spur gear. I would also need to dremel the bottom of the chassis to allow the spur gear to fit since its being lowered about 1/4'' from its stock position.
Any help is appreciated, especially documented visual footage of the conversion.
I almost feel like getting the CRT mount and rigging it up somehow because the CRT X1 also uses a 62 tooth spur gear I believe, so clearance top and bottom wouldn't be an issue. I may post pics later of the attempted conversion to show incompatabilities.
I know of nothing that will cope with a 62T spur without some work. The CR is a buggy mount and hence is looking for a 44-48T spur - The CRT is more suitable a designed for a larger spur but again the CRT as you point out has the chassis cut out.
The key thing is do the wholes line up - It is pretty easy to change the spur to something smaller and adjust the gearing accordingly.
Failing that it might be easier to use something that uses the nitro motor mounting holes.
I tried putting a jammin buggy spur gear (50 tooth i believe) on the mutilator diff cup and the diff cup is a hair too big. I don't know of a smaller spur that would fit on the mutilator diff housing. I called ofna a while back and they said the jammin cr and crt spurs will not fit. I'm probably going to just dremel the chassis a bit and rig some sort of spacers for the top so I can use the top diff plate to clear the spur.
