Finally, ok guys got the mount worked out. I ran the truck today and it was nuts, no video cause i dont see the point while just testing. Everything survived and only ripped 1 tire off the rim. I ordered 2 more and will do a video.


It fits the 1717 (not the stock 1) 2028, and poseidon 2217

That's really nice work on the mount. Can't wait to see it run. Should be pretty neat to see.

I really hope to see a nice high and long jump . the xmaxx seems to have enough suspension travel to land serious stuff. at least some action in dirt !
that is the stuff I want !

It would really be boring to Watch a monster truck making speed record on concrete...

That mount's a nice piece of work; interesting what you did with the inserts to accommodate the 1/8 scale screw pattern too. Do you do your own machining?

yes, indeed a nice part ! but are 2 countersunk 3mm screw enough to hold the whole upper plate ?

Hey, look at that, seems like Poseidon is reading along, as they corrected their online specs. I'd say 75V is 18S, but such details aside, it looks better now:



In case you guys are reading along: how about making an 800kv 2217? And adding motor weight to the table? Thanks in advance . Oh, and I'd be open to sponsorship from you guys too .

Very cool, wish I had a buddy like that and some CAD skills .

Hi, those are 4mm and there's a keyway and a slot and its pressed together and actually holds motor without the 2 screws. No Mickie mouse mount here i pay attention to details cause i know the critics are watching lol
