Flux my first Monster is on the way.

the fins on the 1518 get in the way of the flux motor mounts. also, the xl plates you are getting will not fit the flux motor mount anyway. you can get a kershaw designs motor mount to go with the new motor and TVPs. it's only $20. http://kershawdesigns.com

edit: on the homepage, click on the motor mount link and get the motor mount for the x/xl chassis that fits 540/550 sized motors. the castle motors are made to mount like 540 sized motors.

Thanks for the link and the guidance. You can never ask enough questions i guess.

I checked out the Kershaw mount and have to say I am less then thrilled about the design. Its high COG and dual motor mount layout particularly. I may have to not use this motor on the Flux after all. Bad planning on my part.

Maybe I need a LST2...a brother for the flux.

I am going to have to wait to see what I have going when it gets here. There must be a reason there is no low COG motor mount similar to the original but large enough for the fins right? Im assuming space restraints with the TVPs?

Did you buy HPI XL TVP's? If so, I think the FLM motor mount/plate may work for you. If its not a direct bolt in, locating and drilling the mounting holes should be easy. You could always just buy the FLM XL length plates for the flux (I think they are about 60 bucks), or even the FLM plates for the XL......quite a few options actually.

I was looking at those last night after you guys let me know. I really like the tekno mount as well. I was looking at someones on here last night. He only had two of the bolts for the mount installed due to clearance issues with the center shaft. But if the screws were counter sunk I cant see where the issue would be. Ill try and find it. The FLM stuff does look very nice tho.

At second look there is no real material to mount in due to the cutouts in the bottom plate.

Me thinks this is the best answer.

I do like the cleanliness and simple design. I will hit Mike up and see what's up. This would be my 3rd rcm mount and I have to say that I have been quite impressed with his product. I especially liked his 808 mount with the 2 piece design.
