Project: Flux XL

motor mounts are tough to find... I decided to just utilise my stock ones and modify them to fit... I feel my more secure using it rather than anything else... Just piece of mind when the truck is flying through the air and taking large jumps

linc: Yes, rear mounted battery. I contemplated forward mounted but i wanted to try a layout with everything as low in the chassis as i could. I assume your layout would have the battery mounted above the steering\servo? With the reversed servo saver in my layout it would be possible to fit a battery down the side of the servo though...

The weight bias is shaping up to be very central, see my next post


neil: Yeh i'm a bit tentative about those hose\worm screw style clamps. They might be strong but it would take some convincing to get me to try them

I have no issue if Mike replies to me or not. I'll just make do with what i can get hold of.


Jahay: Know what you mean. A motor is a fair whack of mass to have cartwheeling at 60 km\hr in your truck. The Tekno mount seem solid enough and it fits once modded so i'm gonna give it a go. I'm going to add two extra motor faceplate holes though so i can secure it with 4 bolts
