A word of warning, I had an emaxx with with the motor mounted from the front of the can and an additional attachment point, two 4mm bolts through slots in the body and into a threaded motor heat sink. It worked very well even dropped my engine temp a little. But after a few weeks I noticed the front bell was loose, when I unbolted the rear mounting bolts the can just spun around on the bell. If not for the magnet it would have slid off easily. The mounting points spanned an area of the chssis that flexed. Your motor looks very close to the chassis plate. If it flexes and contacts your motor it might get ugly. CRTs are none to flex alot in that area. Then again maybe its just the picture angle.

smhertzog, Thanks for the warning. I was planing on putting a clamp from the end of the motor back to the motor mounting plate to help keep the motor together on landing s from jumping. The motor has about 2 mm of clearance to the chassie. Do you think that is enough? :032:

Thanks to all for you compliments!:o

RC, I will let you know on the run times and the heat, I havent got to run it enough yet to tell.

Thats pretty close. I'd keep my eye on it.
