XO-1 spur-to-pinion adapter that includes the "Cush Drive"?

No problem Lizard, your feedback and insights are greatly appreciated. And you are right :). I will just have to compensate with some big-ass fans :).

The motor-mount is basically a 1717 mount design, customized on my request to fit a 56 mm can. I did not explicitly take heat-transfer into account in the requirements I set, so I don't blame the maker. Ideally, I would have liked to see a bit more material covering the front endbell too, but this is how it came out. The fact it's so thick does mean it has a little more thermal capacity by itself.

The CF plate is not part of the motor mount design, but my own creation; it was necessary because I overlooked the clearance required for the rear endbell screws... Opted for a spacer instead of cutting another slot in the chassis for the screw, so I could also close up the chassis holes around the gears (they annoy me and I want to see if I can run all plastic gears, so I need to keep stones out as much as possible). An aluminium spacer is a good idea, might make one later.

I am really curious how the Turnigy motor will hold up at such high gearing, and I'm a bit worried about cogging. Did you try out yours already?
