Yup, that's the one...

Although, if it's easier, I don't think I need the pivoting base since the motor itself can be adjusted by the slots...

Any thoughts on this support?

Artur

P.S. flip support 180 to match mounting holes...

Yeah, that looks like it could work nicely! :027: The only thing to remember is to adjust the support when you adjust the mesh, but that's no biggie. I'd probably add a thin layer of foam or some type of cushion to keep from scratching the motor, but that's easy to do.

You haven't by any chance made a stronger mount did you? I mean the longer parts that go over to the bulkhead ends and supports the stock pivot point. It seems to be made of pot-metal or something.

What about making them from plastic (delrin...)
You can set it once and then set gear mesh with swing arm, like with Nitro.

No, I didn't. Do they fail?

Plastic should work nicely for the rear support as long as it's ~3mm+ thick. And I don't think it necessarily has to be delrin, but that sure would work.

Actually, I wasn't planning on using the "swing-arm" Nitro mesh adjustment. It is made for a pinion that sits under the spur really. The traditional slotted holes you made would be better IMO since the motor sits more to the side. I guess you could use the swing arm mesh adjustment to tweak the angle of the mount to suit personal preference though.

I've never heard of a broken motor mount, even with using the 3.3, but it seems like it's kinda cheaply made. It does seem to hold though, so maybe I'm being too anal about it.

Oh, and apologies to Shark413 for hijacking his thread... :dft001:

Good call!

@Serum: Yeah, the Nitro head does stick out more. Like I said, I thought I was maybe too anal. :)

@CHC: Yeah, I think it's safe to say that a properly sized BL setup has more "snap". :)

Since this thread has really gone away from the original topic, I was wondering if a mod could create a new thread and move the applicable posts there?
