You're most welcome Brandon and copy that....I hope you'll be able to do the CAD drawing on the 9E and Losi mounts that a lot of people are bugging you about already!!!

Keep us posted on your progress....I believe you have a ton of work to do...

???????? but its called "hard anodized" because it harder than the aluminum parts that are being anodized so if you anodized both parts it will last longer because the parts are harder at least that's what i thought because every part that i see that is sold hard anodized claims to last much longer

Layer thickness will always depend somewhat i think.

and on precise small parts like these you only need a few Microns to mess up fitment.

So did you send mine underway already?

I knew friction would play a role in my setup, tolerances are very tight, and not being able to determine exactly how thick the layer of anodize swayed my decision to anodize one part, it's a safe route and I think the 2 tone looks pretty cool anyways

Patience UK, I plan on relieving the 8/16 bearing hole today, so I will update a bit later today.. You will still be No.1 in the UK

I fixed it for you.

I just sneaked over to Brandon's house and picked one up for my STRR and all i gotta say is Wow. They look and feel very solid. I don't think anyone is bending one of these (unlike other mounts). But after picking one up they also feel very light. You all will be amazed by the quality. Brandon dosen't skimp out on anything. Can't wait to run it.
Thanks B

Ok, I have very good news..please disregard my post yesterday regarding the motor block binding & shimming the block with paper issue..
I spent a good amount of hours today trimming off 2/1000 on all the motor blocks..very tedious work but I have to live up to my company name

So once again disregard those instructions, every part should slide with no binding.
Got packing labels printed today so I should be able to ship by this weekend..

Is there anyone running a CASTER near you who can test for fit? Cause some guys says it might not. I'll be glad to order one once things can be confirmed. Thanks.

UK.hardcore · 10-09-2009, 03:40 AM

Now that is customer care.

Not even the big brands would bother, but eliterc did the extra effort.

Let me double check with my buddy, he's a sponsored Castor driver..

Once again UK, Thank you for your kind words

Update: Stickers will not be ready for 2 weeks, so I apologize to those who ordered during this time period.. I will make it up to you guys, once the stickers arrive I will send out a couple to everyone who ordered from me.

Some real nice work and I would be interesting in the losi one. Have you considered made the other side to the centre housing as I would like to change that from the plastic one
