Both plates look nice, but EEM didn't state thickness so I emailed them and they replied that it is also 1/8"....so VF, EEM, or make yer own out of 1/8"!

Learn to type


But fine here you go.

BWD motor plate, IMO this is the best motor plate currently on the market.

While this is up, Does anyone know if the Axial gear cover can be easily adapted to the BWD motor plate?

Fixed my typing slip of the finger. Thanks, love that mount, but don't like it all cut out...looks flexy due to this.

Looks can be deceiving.

Not technically a motor plate alone, but this is as strong as your going to get. 3/16" thick. Of course you'll also pay a big weight penalty

I am guessing the solid one piece. the BWD is a relatively new product.

It is illegal to say the name of the maker, doing so will get you banned--permanently
