I don't change my diff every run but I do change the oil before any full race day and like the rcmonster mount I'd like to be able to remove the diff without having the motor hanging off it's wires..I guess I could NOT wire the motor direct to the ESC and add bullet connectors in between but I'd prefer not to do that.Grid RC says below he can keep the price the same and pretty much as strong with a split mount...??? I think I'm in for one split or not but my vote is on the side of a split.If I'm outvoted I'll shut up gracefully

As for volume, a dozen wouldn't even cover the cost of development and machining time. We can do a run for at least 50 to 60 mounts, although the more the better.

As for a diff access, it would make both sides happy. The mount will be much stronger without the access, but we will engineer it to be as strong as possible even with the access feature.
sounds good..maybe a little reinforcing web at the back or something.leave that to you..you're the expert...keep us posted.
