If funding is an issue, start looking for a second hand MMM/2200kv kit, or pick up the MMM used and a 1717 from the sale (still have them on there for $70!!!!) . Having Castle stuff, even if you have to pay for warranty repairs it's a better way to go IMHO :-)

I've got one of Mikes "universal diff/motor" mounts that I hope to use in a MGT center diff conversion at some point with a 1717 I got in the Castle clearance sale. The mounts are out of stock but if you get on the "notify me when this item is in stock" list and e-mail Mike, he may do a run of them.


If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...

^^the 1717 may be hard to get close enough to the spur.

Those mounts look like they would work much like 10kman's tekno mount, but you never know until you try.

A simple L mount out of angle aluminum, much like The Dude's LST mount would be a very simple and effective way to mount the motor. (It's been done) Then you can also raise the motor just a little to align the pinion closer to the center of the spur gear, which would move it as far away from the back of the tranny as possible.

An MMM is a much better choice than a xerun, and you can find MMM's just as cheap as the xerun.
