Yes, you are correct.

Before I realized what was going on, the screw came through and crushed the backer plate to the slipper.

The top plate being so thin is a concern of mine.

It's only about 1/8" thick to begin with. There's ALOT of material removed so the spur gear will clear. It's VERY thin there.

Where the top plate bolts up front and rear, on the top, additional material has been removed. This makes this stress point less than 1/8" thick.

If the top plate were made from 1/4", it would have negated several issues.

I'm building it and will put some serious torque though it. The Mamba XL and 8S Lipo will make sure of that.

We'll see how it turns out.
