NICE

tdonily

Sounds like the tactic I used at work last night...

Many people do but it was designed to be used with 4S, or to be more precise; 16.8 volts and that's according to castle (part number 2650CMS in the chart)

hey guys

i got the elite rc mount, you were right it looks like a real quality piece! one question before i instal it: i switched gearing to 21 pinion and 44 spur, will i still need to shim the assembly up? or will the motor now mount far enough away from the spur to allow clearance without shimming?

just wanted to get your thoughts before i spend time machining/making some shims when i really dont need to. Really dont want to grind down the alum nubs on the motor.

thanks guys

My advice would be to mount it up and see how much clearance, if any, you have. I imagine it's still going to be a tight squeeze, though.

ok. so you have to raise the whole mount plus the other side of the center diff mount the same distance, correct?

keebler_rc

Yep. I'm not sure how thick you'll have to make the risers. Do you have any machining equipment? I don't, so I've been trying to think of what I can use... any ideas?

Get hold of a piece of carbon fibre sheet or aluminium offcut, very easy to get from ebay etc. 1.5mm to 2mm thick will be ok. Very easy to cut to shape & drill using very simple hand tools or a Dremel.

Thats what I did took around 10 mins to make, job done!!!!

i just raised all four mounts using 3mm thick washers. used the original screws and is very tight fit. kept me from having to machine anything. may have to grind away a little of the servo mount i think the front center dogbone may rub now. rear center drive dog has plenty off clearance. the motor has at least 2mm of chassis clearance.

eliterc motor mount is about 70 bills but totally worth it! i give it 10/10.

Hi Chaps

First off thanks for all your input in this thread - been great reading !!!

Had a Vorza for a few weeks - and one thing i've noticed is that you must check the build on your car when you get it.
The front Inner Hinge brace (rear) was loose on mine - i only noticed it when the lower arms kept popping out.
By then it was too late the bolts had stripped the thread in the front diff with normal bashing.
So far i've tried to fit a longer bolt but that didn't last too long - next up is to araldite the bolt into the diff casing, but i don't expect that to last long either.
I may have to get a new diff casing .. Eeeek.

I have played with the idea of using some bolts and drilling some vertical holes through the rear brace and chassis to stop and rearward movement in a crash

Anyone else had a any issues with this - other than that the Vorza is a blast

actually i think i am just going to use my Watts Up meter that i have. that should tell me everything i need to know, plus its free since i already own it! i think i will remove the plastic casing tho. i just need to put it somewhere that i can read it without removing the body.

thanks
