Well thats good then...I think Hobby City has 2.5mm CF.

Hobby city has carbon fiber??! Link please because i dont see any??!?

Well i haven't made an update for a while and here's the progress.

I remade the lower plates. I now have everything ready to cut the alu angle to make my motor mount out of.

To mount the battery trays this time i have tapped the lower plate so that there is no need for a nut (8) on every mounting screw.

Also i recieved my other LST XXL. and i have installed a TD racing motor mount. This Car will have a 1717 motor and maybe 6s.

In my project LST i am running a MMMXL esc as it allows me to do heaps of stuff i couldn't before.

Hopefully this made sense as i am tired and i'm not sure what i am actually saying.

yeh...we understand mate........

Well today i made the motor mount. Pics later tonight. To make the larger hole i used a countersinking bit and it worked very well. It was done in about 2 mins. I then had some issues with my dremel but i did manage to finish the motor mount.

WIth the dremel...i need some help.

So i was using my dremel and all of a sudden there was a grinding noise and it lost heaps of power. Since then i have puller it apart to make sure nothing was binding the rotor but it's all good.

When i start it nothing happens till i either try a few more times or i give it a bit of a start. Then it will go to about 1000rpm with the full speed setting. There is also the grinding noise. I am thinking there is something wrong with the motor. Also it builds up ALOT of heat.. After about 2 mins of use i can barely hold it cause of the heat.

Can anyone help me as without my dremel things ill be heaps harder the finish this motor mounting system.

Thanks

As promised here are some pics.

To make the motor mount slots for the motor i drilled out some holes then filled it by hand till it was good. The slots are big enough for M4 screws.

The white piece of paper in one of the photos will be replaced with some alu and will be screwed into the motor mount. This will give it just a little bit more strength.

Here's my other LST XXL - one red and one blue.

So far i haven't done much. I have installed a TD racing motor mount with a CC 1717
