For the FK05 kit, On the upper deck, the top motor mount screw position, should that be countersunk. the one I have is not and I am just wondering or did you want people to use button heads so there is still some material around that area. OTherwise the chassis is a work of art.

hey guys,
i finished the prototype TC4 motormount. it came out extremely well and the look and function is exactly what i was lloking for but the cost exceeded what i was hoping for. That being said,im a little uncertain if it would sell being that the cost will be on the high side. If i was to release the motor mount it is going to have a price tag of about $50.00. My question is would this mount be worth buying? I am looking to see what you,the consumer want. All input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
jason

I might quit racing all together if Express wasn't such a great team to race for.
In fact she's remarkably supportive of my racing. Even when I came close to killing myself in a kart, she never said a word about me quitting. She doesn't bitch (much) about the money, or my time at the track, or beer with the guys afterwards.
A great lady to be sure.

Hey Jason why not make it a two piece? Motor mount and shaft support.
I think that would leave a little room for shimming the shaft support to get the proper gear mesh in the case.
