Hey Niel... thanks man... the previous setup had some flex actually which came from the CD mount and not the motor mount... I use new posts for the rebuild and it's quite rigid now.
I'll need to have good test run to see how everything holds up.

Outstanding job and E-maxx !
If there is motor flex again it won't be difficult for you to make an alu clamp mount screwed in the chassis and which goes around the motor ?

And be nice to the Gorillamaxx straps, mine held out 30'... But I'm a basher

Thanks man... hmmm... yah, I'll have to work on a clamp/cradle solution for the motor pretty soon... for now, I'll stay away from situation that might put the mount under unnecessary stress (like big jumps ).

I am curious as to where you got the inspiration for this center diff setup.... As I have a very similar setup (minus the awesome carbon fiber work) in my Maxx. And I'm not trying to thread hijack here, just wondering if you got your idea for the center diff setup from my Maxx.

Anyway, here are some pictures and a vid from my build thread that I posted here on RCM and Traxxas a few months ago (not nearly as nice as yours, but the same setup basically) -











And a quick video of my setup -

Also, I noticed you were looking for some aluminum center diff mounts.... I use the Integy ones. I know most people here don't like hate Integy, but I have had no strength issues with their aluminum center diff mounts. These are meant for an OFNA Ultra LX One buggy, which has the same center diff as what you and I are using, so they do work just fine without any modifications.

Here is a link to where you can buy them -

(Integy also has grey anodized ones if you don't like the silver)

Alien- You've got a hell of a truck there. I love it. Need video!

Krawlin'- which member here did you get your idea from?

From "jordan...", he has a similar setup on his G-Maxx, but uses Xray stuff instead. Alien probably got the idea from him too, I don't think alot of people saw my thread, I am just asking him out of curiosity.

This is "jordan..."'s setup, which I got my idea from -

I actually saw one of those just last week on ebay, but I resisted the temptation... I want to switch to a ofna spider diff which won't work with lx one mounts, so I got a jammin CD mount instead.

Hey man, thanks... I'll try for some action stills and vids this weekend.

Yep... Jordan's cd mount was the inspiration for mine.
