Where to get front motor mount

[chattinfarms]

I'm building a tube buggy right now that I'm going to run slash electronics with brushless. My question is where are people getting the motor mount for front of the vehicle. Ill be running this to a manufactured t case or maybe just build my own. Any help on this would be great

Picture of what you are talking about?

That a nice one.

[chattinfarms]

That is kind of what I'm looking for. I saw one somewhere that was basically like a round clamp and you ran driveshaft straight from motor to tcase. But that is nice. Only thing is it looks like you have to use a scx stock trans with it. If you know where to get the style I'm looking for let me know cause I can't find it.

What's your plan to get enough reduction?

[chattinfarms]

Not really sure yet. I'm going to play with that as I go. I'm building it for more of a bouncer so wheel speed counts.

You looking for something like these?
Disruptor Ultra Compact Planetary Transmission
or
#87634 Reduction Gear Box Set (wheely King)

Both can be mounted up front and RCModelex has a 5mm upgraded output shaft for the HPI unit.

Ok I'm putting the best pic I have if the beast up in this post. What I'm wanting to do is get all of the elecrtical up in the nose so it is hidden away and I can do somewhat of a scaler out of it. If I get a motor mount that will fit up there I can run the rc4wd t case in the middle and the trans and motor will be out of site.

You can use a 2 speed transmission with the GCM one.

i think a lot of us just build our own. there are many ways to do it. but this was a way i did it.




and this

[chattinfarms]

I apologize for my screw up but I just realized I put front motor mount. I meant to put motor clamp, not necessarily front motor mount. I think I have figured out what to do anyhow but you guys have gave me a ton of ideas and I appreciate it. Now what all has a 2spd tranny cause that would be nice to have so I can make this a 2 purpose rig as a rock bouncer and a trail/rock crawler so I could use low for the slow speeds and the high for the speed. Next question does that shift by means of a servo if so I am going to need a 4 channel remote for winch, tranny shift plus I want f&r steer. Oh boy looks like I have my work cut out for me and this is going to cost a bit more than what I set aside for this project.

Oh and also has anyone cut their scx trans down to make it like a low pro transfer case so to speak. I would like to do it cause I have 5-6 that are just sitting. I've searched a 1000 dif ways and can't find anything. Thanks for the help guys I know you will get me through this.
