Looking for a buggy project

Awesome! I got my motor mount from Mike too!(as we discussed earlier in the thread) He does great work! Why did you put the motor over the diff? I put my motor in the left read of the truck... Looks very slick though!

I have some pics of mine if you want...

Bye :018:

Very nice! After seeing that, it makes me want to make an integrated diff holder/motor mount for my hyper 7. Egads! Redesign!

Pretty sweet, Brian. Is Mike keeping the design on file so he can make more?

Edit: Jeeze, I post a reply within like 5 minutes and get beat out twice already, lol

Due to popular demand here they are... (sorry for the thread hi-jack, Brian)

I designed the mount in emachine shop and had mike machine of for me...






Bye:018:

Thanks guys.

@cem: I put it over the diff because it gives me more options for batteries. Plus, I like symmetry and think it looks better that way. :)

@sleebus: I'm not sure, but the Hyper7 and Hyper8 are very close in design so I bet this will fit in the H7 as well. Besides, redesigns are fun!

@GD: Actually, Mike said the idea was already from a past design so I imainge it will be kept on file. I had him raise the diff a little so the motor clears the rear brace. He also re-centered the diff so it is now dead-center.

@cem (again): I like it! It's simple yet effective. At some point, I really have to sit down and figure that emachine program out. And don't worry about the hijack - it's not it's the first thread ever hijacked before! :)

...dood thats cool :D Super chunky...Blingy too :P

I would have put it over the diff, but I wanted the cg as low as possible...

Emachine shop is easy! Also how thick is your mount, mine is 8mm...

That emachine is not hard. It takes a little practice.
Nice mount design.

Cool :). I've always thought the integrated mounts work best. Perhaps that's why I've been doing them for a year now :027:. However, Mike's work is a hell of a lot cleaner/neater than mine (due to tool availability).

[BrianG]

I'm not sure how thick the mount is. Mike just sent pictures because I was impatient. :o I just told Mike what I was looking for and he just did what he felt was best. He's one of the few people that I'd trust to give carte blanche to...

MM, give yourself some credit where credit is due; your mount looks very nice. Unless of course you doctored the pic in Photoshop or something. ;)

[MetalMan]

I'm not so sure I deserve credit for it, just saying that it's an excellent setup, that I happen to have been running for a year :). Here's the first (year-old) design for my X-Terminator:

That tool aviliblity is a good thing to have.
I sure wish I did.

[BrianG]

Well, I did it; I ordered the rest of the parts. My poor credit card! :026: :027:

• Mike's motormount
• Neu 1512 2.5d
• Quark 125B (gonna have to mod this one too :))
• 2 x 2s 8000mAh Maxamps Lipos
• Misc odd and ends: 14T pinion, Neu end cover, 46T spur.

Now the hard parts; waiting for shipping and paying the credit card company! :)

[MetalMan]

Ah, no Mamba Max? You could have spent $140 less :mad:1. In any case, I can't wait to see it when it's running!
