Another GR3 Gorillamaxx Revo build - Page 2 - RC-Monster Forums

Well I guess this is a good time to post an update...I have a MMM...the only thing left to do is fabricate a mount. I might wait for the new Revo Brushless Edition mount to be released...seems like it would fit perfectly on top of the graphite EVO plate that comes standard with the G3R chassis.

I tried to mount my MMM on top of that plate. The MMM hit the body when I did it. I have my body mounted lower than yours, but you might want to take a look at it first. BTW: it looks awesome!

Thanks wildman. That's the problem with the G3R chassis...there isn't a whole lot of realestate to mout the ESC. I actually selected this body (Jconcepts CRT) because it has a little extra hump in the back but I still had to raise the body 1/2 inch higher than I would have liked. Seems like the Tango body would have also been a good choice. But you are right...it is a pain to get it just right.

I have a desert rat body, they don't give you a lot of room.

You could always do what I did, if run out of room. Could you post a side shot with the body on? I would like to see how it fits. That body is sick!

Make a plate off of the motor mount and mount it opposite the motor on the transmission - It works very well...

Then mount the rx on the second tab in place of the second servo...

That will be my next course of action if things don't work out. However, I am hoping that the Revo BL edition MMM mount will work well to secure my ESC on top of the graphite plate above the rear shocks. If not then I will fabricate something to fasten it to the motor plate as you suggested...makes me wish I didn't sell all my dual motor mounts.

Very clever esc mount

. I think it will be fine on there. But if using lower body, might be a problem.

I see that there is a little room for a L-bracket at the left side of the motor plate. Couple holes to it and you might get it there and mount the esc.

Yep...it is a tight fit any way you go. As it is, the motor wires just barely touch the under side of the body. Next time I am out and about, I am going to pick up some aluminum and try fabricating something for the motor mount.

Sad to see you leaving the hobby- your builds were epic. Still, if building was the fun part then perhaps a switch to airfix kits then?

Im actually painting a 1:72 scale Su-37 as I type

Thanks Neil. Appreciate the kind words. Actually switching back to recreational shooting for awhile.
