Recently found out about these sweet motor mounts from Brandon at EliteRC. While checking out his site, I seen his mbx6t. I wanted to something similar, so after a few PMs with him I got started.
Here's my original layout, I started with a FT RC8t & a AE e-conversion. I didn't take a pic before tearing it down, so a pic of me SC8e will have to do, basically the same thing.

First thing I did was flip the diff around to check for clearence.

I tryed flipping the riser around too, but that ain't gonna work. So the diff riser & chassis needed clearencing. Unlike Brandon & some of you, I got no mill so I just used the trusty 'ol dremel & grinder.
First the riser.

Then the chassis.

That's done & the spur has all the clearence it needs.

Now, on to getting the motor mount in...............

Ok, got the motor mount on. I don't know why but I had to do some trimming on the CF diff plate. You can see her how the mount rises up.

Here you can see how much I needed to remove to get it to sit flat.

I seen Ryan Maifield's & his didn't need this done.
Anyone else wiith a AE mount need to do this?
Got the Diff in & everything spins nice & freely.

Need to find something to make an ESC mount.........
