The E4 at the Coliseum in Frederick, MD = fun! As traction came up I had more traction rolling but before that the car was very fast and very smooth. I got many compliments. I smoked a motor but it was fast before then . Duos surely do not work as I had to get a specific spur to make gearing work.

Has anyone fitted a LRP X-12 motor into the E4 chassis? I need conformation that the motor fits before purchasing. The Duos are certainly too big.

I used DUO 2 on my E4RS (17.5)....yes, it does required some grinding on the alum side belt tensioner mount but once that is done, I can move full forward and backward within the motor bay and gear like 10-12 range...

I just used a DUO2 last weekend. I will look again and see how much I have to grind off and if I want to. If not I have a OHP Duo2 for sale with two 6 minute runs on it.

I dremeled my side belt tensioner alot so I could get a good amount of motor movement when I used the DUO and Tekin motors. I never dremeled any of my alum motor mount but instead chose to take off the left side aluminum mount and install the motor and then put the left mount back on. Only took me a few minutes but I didn't need to grind the rear alum mount any.

Isaac as long as the end of the motor is rounded like the old Novaks, LRPs and the newer Novak motor you shouldn't have any fitament problems. IF the motor end is like the Tekin or Trinity where it is perfectly squared corners then it will require you putting the motor in the way I sugested and then a good amount of dremel action on the belt tensioner.

It took me about 20 minutes or more to really dremel my side belt tensioner down but once done I gained alot of motor movement. I just never had time to really make a new side tensioner so I could remove the plastic one all together.

Isaac check with Wolf at Wolfs Hobbies as I thought he was in the process of making a new side tensioner back when I had mine. Maybe he has some newer ones that are cut to give more room.

Solara helped me out. Good picture Solara. I will check with Wolf and see what he says about a new motor mount.
