Update 10/12/2009
I took some time today to take some nice close up pictures of my finished product..
As you can see from this picture, the motor block is held in place with 1 screw, 2 screws can be used for extra security but is not needed..
OK, let me explain in detail why my slide & lock design is different from others..here are the benefits:
1: There are no gaps, motor block has full contact with motor mount..therefor motor will not budge, so you will have a perfect mesh all the time...
2: The face of the motor has full contact with the whole mounting system..
3: Very solid built, machined from Aircraft grade 7075 T7 aluminum, so it will stay solid, rigid & slop free unlike other mounts made from 6061 or cast aluminum.
4: Even though it is 10mm thick it weighs a little over 2oz, I've taken out unnecessary material to save as much weight as possible..
5: Has a built in 5x10mm bearing in the motor block for extra shaft support, less flex = better mesh & less stress on front motor bearing.
6: 1 screw lock design, when you tighten the top screw it puts pressure on the sliding contacts, so it somewhat unites the 2 parts into 1 solid mount, zero flex! Totally different from Losi/Kyosho
Here is a nice view of the front, I've chose to hard anodize for durability & to match the color of selected vehicles..
The smooth sliding action with tight tolerance, as you can see the motor is on the edge and still looks parallel to the mount.
The keyhole opening on the front of the motor block for easy pinion installation & removal.
