Will you be making a motor mount for the HB Ve8 that still retains the ability to use Tekin motors? I hate the HB one piece motor mount because it's a pain to change gears and adjust mesh. Another aftermarket company makes one for the Ve8, great motor mount but fails in execution because of the very limited number of motors that will fit in the tight confines of the Ve8.

When will your site be up and running and when will your products be available?

Thanks

I am very interested in a motor mount for my xray buggy and truggy. I am curious about the range of pinions that are usable with this design. It appears that it might have a limited range of adjustment. Could you comment on that?

Our motor mount system is a two part unit, the motor mount itself and the chassis mount.

A chassis mount is in the works for the Ve8 and should be available very soon. As for motor space limitation, a motor mount does not resolve it because its a physical space you have to work with. We will make sure that our mount system will allow Tekin motors to be used.

The GRID motor mount itself utilizes multi-motor holes to work with 4 hole and 6 hole mounting patterns. If you use a Neu/Castle motor, our mount can allow for 3 screws to be used. And if you use a Tekin, then the GRID mount can use two of the M4 holes and as well three of the M3 holes; thus ultilizing five ! mounting screws total.

(the pic below shows a four hole motor utilizing three M3 socket caps screws)

As for the site, it is being worked now and should be ready in a few days.

Big question for you. What is your gearing and Lipo setup now?

Our one-piece motor mount is front pinion shaft supported means the pinion gear is required to be installed first onto the motor then passed through the mount to be bolted down. The GRID mount will physically allow the largest which is a 19T pinion.

We also have another motor mount being finalized that will allow 19T and beyond. This mount is rear pinion support and allows the pinion gear to be installed after the mount is bolted to the motor.

Does this answer your question?

What's the price range?

US$59 for motor mount system

Thx! Any website?

what about a mount for the odonnell Z01b?

Site is being working on now. Should be up soon.

The motor mounts are universal. If we get enough demand, all we need to mill is the chassis mounts for the Z01b.

That's great news! I've been waiting on someone to make a better motor mount for the Ve8 that replaces the HB one piece mount.

Just as long that it fits near perfect on the chassis, gives us the option to use Tekin or Castle motors, the motor shaft does not get too close to hitting the battery, and ease of adjusting gear mesh and pinion changes, then I'm game.

When will these mounts be available for sale?

Any motor mount for jammin x2 CRT?

Yes

How much does the system weigh?
