That is our new CR Motor mount alright - we constantly update our parts in between production runs as we go - sometime we simply find a "look" that we like, and sometimes we add some utility (mech. brake capability, for example, was not initially on any of our motor mounts). This is a benefit of being a small, low volume shop with our own parts - we can quickly update/change as we see fit. :)

100% Mikes CR mount .
Don't want to remove the centre chassis brace as it will let the chassis flex to much and effect handling .
Putting a little notch in the CR mount was no big problem , took all of 5 minutes .

No problem notching the mount , just do little at a time until it just clears , there is plenty of meat left on it .

As Arct1k speciified they are stock LPR tires and wheels , they look narrower because they are the largest wheel you can use under the rules so the tire is stretched out more and has less sidewall / tire looks narrower .
Tires are great they work similar to Crimefighters .

Been a while guys so thought i would post a little update , i'll be quick .

Body was done in UpgradeRC custom skins , and i am now running Lucianos 6s esc ( it's running great and if it continues to do so i will be selling my new MMM v2 ) .

I will now be using the X2 as my basher so i might go from a 15t pinion up to 17t or probably 18t as the esc ,motor and battery are staying cool , all between 95 o - 110 o .
Have been using the Zippy 5s 4000mah packs and am very happy and getting 18mins before the lvc on the esc kicks in .


I made a plate for the esc which attaches to the center diff top plate using the existing top plate mounting holes , the esc is then attached with velcro and some zip ties .

That's it for now , oh some pics as well .

Looks good. I hope those capacitors are secured with some kind of tape to keep them from bouncing too much and breaking off.

Drift thanks for the compliment , it's quite easy though with the skins .
