Mechanical brakes on Emaxx?

You should not have any trouble with it.

If you want to mount the motor closer to the center, you will have to make a spacer that will lift the rcm mount up to clear the rear center driveshaft. I did it to the hv tmaxx that I am building here.

Should be a good project, my only issue would be battery mounting, but if you use a single pack it can go opposite the motor.
