Jato with Neu 1515 motor.

Using a Revo mount will invlolve hacking one up. I think I have a batter solution. It involves using the orginal nitro motor mount, mount a piece of aluminium plat to the motor mount. Some trimming required, and then using 540 motor clamps to mount the motor to the plate. Adjusting the motor placement is done my sliding the original nitro motor mount. I came across this solution from someone who made a carbon fiber jato.

Ouch - feels like I am back in the days of my first BL conversion using "the man who's name we do not speak" FDM boat motor mounts. It works, but in the long run isn't the best way to mount the motor.

One thing I have learned over my few years on this site is that this type of mount is prone to alot of problems as the torque on the chassis will cause chassis bending which causes movement between the pinion and spur gears and leads to a lot of inefficiency and wear.

A mount that can maintain a nice consistent mesh between the pinion and spur will work best.
