Motor Mounts

[Punisher 67]

Hey guys , by popular requests I am going to advertise my mounts here , Steven also thought it a good idea . I will apologize if they are a little pricey but they do take a lot of time to make .

Some youtube video's of the build process , I have since gone to a .25 bit for the smalls bringing the build time to just over 2.5 hours for the basic mount less ESC plate

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRscUpsFGgc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSDUaDG_Gfo

These are the small mounts they will accommodate Feigao's , Medusa's , Neu's from a 1512 to a 1527 . these will work with a 4" stringer and are 3/16 in thickness

SMALL MOUNTS

basic mount = $50.00
ESC plate = $7.50
Shipping = $7.50

[Punisher 67]

MEDIUM MOUNTS


These are designed around the Feigao 580's or any motor to 45mm in diameter , Also for Lehner 22xx . they come in a 4" and 5" stringer width . mounts are 3/16 in thickness . this now will include the castle 1717 motor

Basic mount 4" = $55.00
Basic mount 5" = $60.00
ESC plate = $7.50
Shipping = $7.50

[Punisher 67]

LARGE MOUNTS

These are for the larger 22XX Neu's and 30xx Lehners , these take a fair hike due to the fact they are 3/8 thick and take 6+ hours from start to finish , the large Leoperds come in 1/4 aluminum

Leoperd 5692 mount 1/4aluminum w/esc plate...$85.00 without esc plate...$75.00
(mounts below done in 3/8 aluminum)
Basic mount Neu 22XX + Lehner 3080...............$100.00
combo Motor / Schulze controles........................$125.00
With ESC Plate............................................. ......$125.00
Shipping.......................................... .....................$10.00

[Punisher 67]

FLAT BOTTOM CAT & RIGGER MOUNTS

These can be ordered with whatever bottom width you want , the ones in the picture are a 2" and 2.75" for the smalls and mediums. You will have to install a small wooden stringer system for these to mount . they dont show in the pictures but come with mount holes drilled in on the bottom sides or drilled through on the bottoms for mounting

Basic mount small= $30.00 36mm motors
Basic Medium = $40.00 39 - 41mm motors
Big Medium = $50.00 Feigao 580/Lehner 22xx.........44 - 45mm motors
Basic large = $75.00 Neu 2215 to 2230 motors 1/4 Aluminum
Big large = $100.00 for Lehner 3080 with Schulze 40/160 combo machined in 3/8 aluminum , Neu 2230 also available
Shipping = $7.50 small + medium
Shipping = $10.00 Large mounts
ESC Plate = $7.50 small + medium
ESC Plate = $10.00 leoperd 5692 or 2215 mounts
ESC Plate = $12.50 on large mounts Neu 2230 or Lehner 3080

[Punisher 67]

CUSTOM

I cannot give a price on these since it will depend on what you need and how long it takes to design and make , some previous requests below

1st picture was for Jesse J's outrageous dual motor Intruder

The 2nd and 3rd picture is a Racemechanix Engineering designed mount , I have to say it is one of the nicest mounts I have had the pleasure of machining . it will work with a Neu 2215 or 2230 motor just the frame connectors would need to be adjusted for length .
Price on the 1/4 alum units = $90.00 + shipping
Price on the 3/8 alum units is $115.00 + shipping


4th picture is also a Racemechanix Engineering design but for a 4" stringer and the Neu 15XX series motors and price is $65.00 + shipping

5th picture is a 2215 low mount 4.0" stringer

[tiqueman]

Extrememly good looking mounts Peter. Im not in need of any now, but will be looking to you in the future. Very nice.

Scott

[Fast One]

These mounts are top quality and very well designed and machined.
Pete is an excellent person to deal with and his custom work is first class.
I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone.

Peter, your a master craftsman.

[Punisher 67]

Thank you very much all , I will do my best for our little community........:tiphat:

[Flying Scotsman]

Peter, as usual crapy workmanship, awful music choices and dreadful video presentation :wink:

How long did it take you to write the code for a mount? :spy:

FLAT BOTTOM CAT & RIGGER MOUNTS

These can be ordered with whatever bottom width you want , the ones in the picture are a 2" and 2.75" . You will have to instal a small wooden stringer system for these to mount . they dont show in the pictures but come with mount holes drilled in on the bottom sides

Basic mount small= $35.00
Basic Medium = $45.00
Basic large = $55.00
Shipping = $7.50
can you make these with say a 10-15 deg angle on one end? im looking at fitting a 1527 in a mean machine and cant put rails in it due to the low profile cowl :( this would be perfect if the back of the mount was higher for a downward angle for the shaft to flex union.

[Punisher 67]

If you give me what hight you want the front and what hight you want the rear I can work out the exact angle you will need............:smile:

Douggie

It depends on the mount Douggie , the larges can be up to 3000+ lines of code , designing a new mount can be very time consuming

[blakybob]

These mounts look awesome Peter!!! If the ones I have now need replacing I'll DEFINITELY be buying some of these from you.

Blake

[wolf IV]

thankyou so much for responding so quickly! i built one out of some stuff i had laying around, not as pretty as yours but i will get some from you in the near future foresure!!!

[Punisher 67]

Looks good Josh , whatever works my friend

[Jesse J]

The beauty of Peter's mounts is that they are also versatile. The mounts for the intruder were designed for 1515 cans, but since I had to sell them to buy beer, I have been using Proboat motors and the mounts still work!! these motors are shorter, but the mounts had holes in the right places and they hooked up nice. Can't wait till I get a real job and buy me a pair of NEW NEUs for the "Duchess".

Great work Peter and you don't charge enough $$ for your time and diligence!!

[toysRme]

Hi Peter,
i would like a mount for a mean machine aswell, to suit a 1518 NEU.I tried the mount you made me last month for the 1518 but its better suited to a mono.
Your flat bottom mount with alloy angle bolted to the sides so you glue two hard wood bearers to the hull,so you can screw into from the top would work nice(easy access to the mounting screws)
Many thanks for the two mounts you sent me last month

Craig B

[toysRme]

Hi Peter,
this is what i had in mind for the mean machine.Angle on both sides of the mount.

[Punisher 67]

Craig......I can make an addition to the mount G-code and have the side mount arms machined as part of the mount , would you like that better

[toysRme]

Peter,
If you use the alloy angle on the side you wont have to use the 4/5mm rods to align/join the two motor plates, if you use two screws per plate(front and rear) per side(8 in total) it will make it a lot stiffer.Just my thoughts but i see your design will also work,just worried about surface area for thrust load? And the angle will hide the wood mounting blocks glued to the hull

[bonewar]

Peter , I just received the motor mount for the 1521. It is awesome , and is going to look real nice inside the hull . Thank you very much. Rick :rockon2:

[Punisher 67]

Good to hear Rick , happy building

Craig your mount as requested

[toysRme]

Thankyou Peter,
this is just what the mean machine needed to finish it off.
Heres the 4" mouint you made for my brothers DF29, nice piece of work Peter

[Punisher 67]

Happy you like it and thank you.....Only the best for you guys

Can you do me a favor , these are the new type 1521 esc plates a smidgen longer than my old ones , can you post a picture with it craddling the motor . I make a servo plate for 4.0" and 5.0" stringers now

$22.50 shipped for the 4.0inch

Awesome Tyler , I still can't believe how beautiful that mount turned out , you are a genius . I am just about caught up with special orders , I am just itching to get to the 4 inch to see what that will look like and as promised the first one goes to you free......................:thumbup1:

Thanks peter,

Just in the process of changing out the wood stringers in the DF 33 to G10 and mounting the motor up front like your 41.

I'll post some pics up as soon as they arrive.

Hi Peter,

Well i finally finished the mount for your CNC piece.
I thought you would like to see the finished product.
Came out very nice.
Thank you !!

Cheers Bonewar :rockon2:

man thats ugly!:ThumbsDown01: haha my little carbon fiber buddy:beerchug::rockon2:

[Punisher 67]

That looks very bad-a$$ , thank you for posting

[Xfactor]

Do any of you guys do gear boxes? Does your cnc software import files from Inventor?

[Xfactor]

If one of you has an x/y endmill I may need your services to cut out my pcb traces for the speed control im trying to design. It will be cut ot of copper or brass plate.

[Punisher 67]

On your first question I do not do gear boxes infact I am getting out of doing custom jobs period cause they are such a huge time consumer , on the pcb I can look at what you need

[Xfactor]

Do you have a 5inch rail mount for a 45mm motor?

[Punisher 67]

I have a 5 inch rail mount but for.....what motor...... , I am closing shop for two weeks just to get caught up so I won' be able to make it till the middle of April if thats not an issue.....sorry for any inconveniance

[Xfactor]

thats cool when i get all the dimensions ill foward them to you.Have you done any with an offset drivetrain? See how its offset in my rigger?

[steve-b]

Hey Peter,

Does your mill accept a collet? What rpm are you running the cutter at? Two flute?

Steve.

[Punisher 67]

Hello Steve

My mill is a Taig CNC , yes it does use collets ....the ER16 collets . my rotational speed is at about the 6500rpm and I use 4 flute cutters

What machine do you have

[JMSCARD]

Hey Peter I like your boat..... I have a DF sniper too....has a 2215 2y and I am running a schulze 40/160 too.... Seen your youtube vids made me want the sniper.... now I want a better motor mount as mine is a little hokey.... what is the cost of a 2215 mount with the esc plate and will it fit over the OSE alluminum cooling jacket? I am very interested..... your sniper looks fantastic.... where do you guys run up in canada? I am in Vermont.... just under 2hrs from montreal.... one of my fav places!!

[BakedMopar]

The wait for mine is killing me. It's like walking through a museum. Lots of nice things but you can't touch! I've said it once and I'll say it again. These things are a peice of art. Good job Peter!

[knpc]

The wait for mine is killing me.

Me too. Can't wait for it to get here, should be any day now.

[Punisher 67]

You guys should be seeing them any day , they are both actually overdue . murphys law as soon as you post when are they gunna get here they will arrive the next day...............LOL

Thanks for the Kudos

A few questions first my friend

- What schulze 40/160 do you have old style or new
- what 2215 do you have old style or new
- if you don't know send me pictures of both....... titanis@telus.net
- standard large frame with either esc plate or cooling tube holders is $125.00US

We have a small club where we meet at the nitro guys pond and terrorize them....LOL , I live a hop , skip , and jump from Edmonton , Alberta ( 35 minutes away ) we run at a local water reservoir

Here are pics of a fellows 2215 sniper setup I just helped out about 8 weeks ago machining motor & esc setup and also the servo plate . I can't help but notice what a clean and beautiful job he did setting this up , always a pleasure to see

[steve-b]

Hi Peter,

I have a lilian conventional mill with the acu-rite system. Are you familiar with it? Its very easy to use.
The reason i asked about the, collet is that it seems it would cut with alot more rigitity, and you could use a much quicker feedrate. Also, does it have a coolent pump. I know when machining alum the cutter tends to "bung up". especially with a four flute.
Please don't feel as if im trying to tell you how to machine (your mounts look great) This is just some things i know after 18+ years as a tool maker.
Keep up the good work.

Steve.

[Punisher 67]

No fluid but the aluminum shavings are evacuated by a vacuum system , usually every 2 - 3 passes I give the tool path a squirt of cutting oil , Don't worry about the questions I am still a bit of a greenhorn with the CNC system and appreciate any input especialy from a seasoned machinest

Thanks for the nice comments on the mounts

Thank you !!

Cheers Bonewar :rockon2:

Which mount is this? Looks like the flat bottom mount only the pics don't show it can be mounted from the sides. Was that a custom request? I'm looking to do something identical to that with a 1521. Pics shown in original post I'm linking below.

Johnf,

Mate the mount is for the Neu 1521, 1527.
It comes as a flat mount with mounting holes on the lower sides .

I used 4mm carbon plate to make a angled mount for the CNC mount to sit on.
I then checked the carbon mount into the floor of the cat and glass it into place.

The CNC mount sits on the carbon mount and is held in place with 4 bolts.
Came out very strong, and also looks good.

A couple of pictures to show you what i'm talking about.


Bonewar :rockon2:

[johnf]

Thanks for the info bonewar! Looks fantastic, as do all your other projects. I couldn't see any holes in the pics punisher posted to mount from the side like you did. I'm looking for a nice way to mount a 1521 in the insane hydro I'm having built. If you check out the thread, markf has a 1527 shoehorned into his. Looks like the motor just tucks into the hatch. Tight on clearance from what the pics show. I'm hoping this mount set up like yours would fit under the hatch.

Peter I would like a quote for a Lehner 3060 mount, 5 inch rails with esc plate add on. Thanks
T. Hatch

[Punisher 67]

Is this for a cat or a mono

[tth]

Sorry Peter its a mono. DF41 its shown here with a 2215/2y and ESC is a Schultze 40/160.

Edit: I mentioned ESC "Plate". I prefer the Heavy Duty mount you have with the water cooling tube braces built in to the motor mount. That looks sweet.

[Punisher 67]

That option was only specific to the cat flat bottom mount but could easily be added to the V-mono mount also

A 3060 in a 41" mono is bordering on overkill..............I like your attitude

[Punisher 67]

Larry this is a little screamers face plate I just did for a mono hull , yours will be much like this but with a flat bottom

Im after 2 x basic medium for 1521s in rigs.

What is width of mounting plate ?

Please lmk details.
costs
wait
etc

Wayne

[Punisher 67]

Hello Drwayne

if you are talking about the optional ESC plate that sits on top of the mount it is a shade under 2"inches wide , the 1521's go in the basic medium and the base width is 2.75"inch but I can make that whatever width you want

If you need two I should be able to get to them sometime late next week hoping that is not an inconveniance . Prices are on the first page + $7.50 to ship anywhere in north america

John

[Punisher 67]

How are you John..................:welcome:

Every now and then I give it a thought but always come up with nothing.....:confused2:

Anyways thought I would add something usefull , by request I have a mount for the new Leoperd 5692 . This new motor is about the same size and power as a Neu 2215 but at 1/3 the cost and Steven stocks them here , thats a hell of a price for a motor that huge .

This mount is machined in 1/4 inch alum and not the regular 3/8 for the large motors . this will put the mount cost under $90.00 instead of the 3/8 units at 125.00 with esc plate . here is a picture below

[m4a1usr]

That mount is awesome Peter! We might need to talk. I have one of the 5692's in 1090 waiting for a build. And have a SprintCat that it was going to see as home but I found a 2215 for cheap. Guess the Leopard is going to wait. As always you make the best IMHO. And I could carve metal back in the day for what thats worth.

Hi Peter, I've tried to send 2 p/m's to you about motor mounts but they don't seem to go though (not in my sent file either) so could you please e-mail me at donferrette@verizon.net so I can get some info on ordering a mount from you. Thanks!

FLAT BOTTOM CAT & RIGGER MOUNTS

These can be ordered with whatever bottom width you want , the ones in the picture are a 2" and 2.75" for the smalls and mediums. You will have to install a small wooden stringer system for these to mount . they dont show in the pictures but come with mount holes drilled in on the bottom sides or drilled through on the bottoms for mounting

Basic mount small= $30.00 36mm motors
Basic Medium = $40.00 39 - 41mm motors
Big Medium = $50.00 Feigao 580/Lehner 22xx.........44 - 45mm motors
Basic large = $75.00 Neu 2215 to 2230 motors 1/4 Aluminum
Big large = $100.00 for Lehner 3080 with Schulze 40/160 combo machined in 3/8 aluminum , Will also be one for Neu 2230 soon
Shipping = $7.50

Do you do a 3080 mount that will mount the 40.300wk on top instead of the 40.160?

Thanks,
Tom

[Punisher 67]

I haven't made one yet but I can write the code to do a flat bottom with an esc plate on top . the 40/300 could either be Velcro'd or two sided taped on top . A flat bottom with esc plate will be $110.00 + 7.50 shipping . here is a picture of a large esc plate

I thought it would be a good idea,

BEAUTIFUL JOB...........:w00t:

thanks for posting , here is a youtube video of when I just first setup the code for the Feigao mounts 18 months ago using a 1/8 bit , milling time at the start was an excruciating 4.0hrs + but now with a larger 1/4 bit and refinements in the code its all machined in about 2.5hrs or less with the small units . the larger Neu 2230 and Lehner 3080 mounts still take 6.0hrs + to complete

That looks damn good bone war. Your pics are the reason I put Peter to work on a mount for one of my boats this week! Can't wait to get it.

[tborisch]

I haven't made one yet but I can write the code to do a flat bottom with an esc plate on top . the 40/300 could either be Velcro'd or two sided taped on top . A flat bottom with esc plate will be $110.00 + 7.50 shipping . here is a picture of a large esc plate

Tom I am fairly back logged and will not be able to get to it till next week if thats ok with you

Hi Peter,

I have the 40.303's on order. They have mounting points on them for thru bolting into place. Could you use that?

Either was is fine with me. I could send you one of the controllers if that would make design easier. Do you have one?

Thanks,
Tom

[Punisher 67]

Hello Tom

No I don't have one but why don't we sit tight till you get it and go from there , you shouldn't have to send it . I can in the mean time machine the main mounts and just leave them to the side for now

[Punisher 67]

Hello Scott

Looks good my friend but you have the rear on backwards , the round relief was for the rear set screws I see that I could remove that out of the mix just wasn't sure of the exact distance . Awesome I really appreciate you posting a picture and yes she looks stunning....................:buttrock:

[forescott]

I was wondering about that. I'll flip it around!

[Punisher 67]

Actually Scott it shouldn't matter , I now see that it really isn't necessary and will delete it from the present written code . I am very interested in the performance of the 5692 motors

[tborisch]

My ESC's are here, and I have an idea for mounts.

Tom

[Punisher 67]

I am a listenen , there is one more fellow on this forum that wants a mount for a 3080 with the schulze 40/303 so we are all three sort of in the same boat

[forescott]

Pete, I turned the rear bracket around and I think you should keep the notch in the rear piece. The motor screws were touching the rear bracket before removing it. Not binding, but they were touching!

[tborisch]

I am a listenen , there is one more fellow on this forum that wants a mount for a 3080 with the schulze 40/303 so we are all three sort of in the same boat

I was thinking for my application, it would be nice to build a longer mount setup and put the ESC in front of the motor on some mounts. This would keep the wires from the control to the motor REALLY short, and make it easy to pull the whole deal out easy.

What do you think? I know they would be pricey, but worth it in the long run.

Tom

[Punisher 67]

Thanks for the info Scott , good to know

Sorry Tom for the late reply , draw something up and we can go from there . give me an idea how you see it done

[Punisher 67]

Tom.....Tyler Garrard has designed a 40/303 mount plate that will work with the motor mount you need . it works with the V-bottom and the flat-bottom . I milled one last night for his mount

Perfect! Is there any concern with having such long wires between the batteries and the esc?

How much for 2 3080 cat mounts with these plates?

Thanks,

Tom

[RaceMechaniX]

Tom,

It should not be a problem. When the wires are run straight in and straight out of the connectors it's only about 3" long. If you want really short leads you can solder the wires in perpendicular to the connectors for both the motor and the controller to make them super short. I have found on HV setups the difference is negligible.

I am thinking of the wires from the batt's to the ESC. Not the ESC to the motor.

With these (40.303) plates :)

Thanks!
Tom

[RaceMechaniX]

In my opinion it is more important to have the motor wires close to the esc than the battery wires. The motor leads will see peaks currents almost twice as high as the battery current under partial throttle coniditons. All depends on the application.

Do you have a mount designed that would work for the Neu/Castle using the OSE water jacket?

[RaceMechaniX]

Looks super Peter, now I just have to find a Sniper hull.:smile::smile::smile:
I have plently of 6-32 hardware here. BTW, no need to countersink the outside holes for the Schulze mounts in the future, I think it would be easier to use nutsand washers on the bottom and SHCS on the top to be able to tighen the controller down while the mount is in the boat.

As always, very nice work.

[T.S.Davis]

Quite a variety sir.

Have you done anything with sport hydros? The mount screws would need to go through the mount into blind nuts or something in the rails. I'm working on a buikld where I wont be able to get to the back side of the rail once the deck is on. You might have something already that I missed.

[RaceMechaniX]

T.S.Davis,

Which motor and what width rails are you looking for?

Tyler

[T.S.Davis]

I want to mount a 2215 inside the 4" rails of a Whiploash. I would also like holes drilled to hold a 1527. I could do that part myself or make a plate. I can get by without supporting the backside of the motor on a 1527 though.

I have two setups for the same boat. One will be reasonable for heat racing and one will be silly to go straight.

Very nice Tyler.................:thumbsdown:

[T.S.Davis]

Exactly what I need.

[RaceMechaniX]

Terry,

There may be an issue with the 4" wide stringers and using blind nuts. With the motor in place I see no easy way to get the screws in unless you can install the mount first and then slide the motor in. I'll draw up the mounts tonigt to illistrate.

TG

[T.S.Davis]

What if the mount flanges on each end were outside the face at each end instead of inside? Then the screws for the blind nuts would be super easy to get to.

Looking at the side view we could just flip the plates on each end so the ears were to the outside.

Is that possible?

[RaceMechaniX]

OK,

check these out. I did reverse the plates and changed the thickness to 1/4" from 3/8" per Peter requests. Due to the narrow width though I have to add reliefs for the screw heads to get in and out. Particularily for the rear mount, you will have to remove the motor while tightening the mount. The rear mount is also a little odd as its only supported at the top and bottom, not that this is a real problem.

Well, I`m begging you on my knees to make a mount for me... It is not a hurry at all, if you could make it to christmas I would be more than satisfied, even february next year will be ok.
5" railspacing would be nice. I do understand if you don`t wanna do it, guess you allready have your hands full of things to do.

Hello Peter,

Do you by any chance have a mount for a NEU 1521?

BR
Anbjorn Hansen

[RaceMechaniX]

Peter,

The rear mount has a slight clearance, just enough to slip some poly tape on between the can and mount to keep scuffing down.

Anbjorn,

Peter machined a 4" Neu 1521 mount for me in the past, I will email you some pics tomorrow.

Peter, get some sleep and take care if yourself bud.

Looking at Tylers 3080 pictures it looks like the front of the coupler still clears the ESC plate . you might need some shorty wrenches

Terry,

I opened up the rear just enough to let the fins pass through. You will need thick fuel tubing in the rear, but no big deal.

For the 3080 mount should be no problem to get to the flat on the coupler unless the frame rails are super high.

[pda75]

here is an example of motor mount which can support flex length reduction. The motor moves back and forth.

It is not too heavy compared to a standard design. (150 gr here for a 1.3 kg motor).

[westbeach]

That is a great design, looks like it is adjustable to accept a shorter can, also adaptable to a bigger diameter motor by just changing out the rear motor support. Nice, but I still love my Peter Z motor mounts!! :wub:


here is an example of motor mount which can support flex length reduction

[pda75]

If peter wants to make some of them, I would be more than happy. I am not competing against Peter, not at all . My motor mount is "hand made" without CNC and can definitly be upgrade with more sophisticated building tools.

The objective was to avoid the thrust (7 kg in my rigger) on the motor's bearing, not to sell it to anybody.

Regards

Pierre

[Punisher 67]

It looks a little too complicated , interesting design...........:thumbup1:

[pda75]

here is a short video which illustrates the operation when the flex length is reduced

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8le20_dscn2994_sport

[sailr]

What a GREAT idea! It allows you to have the shortest possible flex exposed and still be able to remove the coupler/motor? I love it! SOMEBODY ought to pick up this design! Only thing I wonder is if the rods are heavy enough to take the torque.

[pda75]

the rods are 4 mm diameter. It is working with a lehner 3040 in a 10S2P set up. So far so good, still running well.

I will make a post to describe the build of the rigger.

Pierre

[m4a1usr]

Only thing I wonder is if the rods are heavy enough to take the torque.

Your on the right thought Jim. But its not the rotational energy of the motor one would have to worry about so much. It would be the free travel in the longitudal axis where the mass could travel further where forces would be detrimental. Like when a hull stuffs or stops aburptly in water. Accelerate a 2 pound motor one tenth of an inch and you get x amount of energy upon stopping. Accelerate the same motor 3 tenths and the forces are more then squared. I remember last year when Pierre was on RRR first talking about it. Its an absolutely brilliant design. But what its going to need is some basic engineering, some motion limitation design integration to limit acceleration forces. The weak link is energy applied to the attachement points. Probably wouldnt be as critical on stringers but mounted to a thin glass hull and who knows. Point loading could be very large.

Dampers would fix that. Something rigged up from RC car shocks with some heavy oil. Rubber pads from CD isolation, if the right density...

That is, on the rails to prevent a sudden jarring fore and aft, to slow it down...

[pda75]

I am using springs on the rids in order to avoid big shock. In addition I have place some rings to limit the motion of the motor.

Here is a picture (I will get a better one). On the left you can see the spring and the ring.

Put the torque against a thrust bearing at the motor output shaft. No stress on the motor bearings.

The floating motor puts all the thrust on strut where you'll need........a thrust bearing, washer, bushing, something. A thrust bearing at the strut works but you rely on water as the lubricant.

I like this idea and have tested it. Here is a very nice example from RRR.

The only issue is that you need a clearance of 2 to 5 mm between the drive dog and the strut. Due to the clearance and depending on flex speed rotation, it becomes very difficult to keep oil or grease within the brass tube : You need to refill the brass tube quite often.

I just want to mention to you guys I have now modified the medium mounts to accept a 1717 but need a volunteer to mail me a motor so I can get all measurements correct - A FINNED MOTOR . the motor would be going back with a mount for 20$ + whatever to ship back probably $15 clams $$$$$$ or less

Thank you

[m4a1usr]

I can help you out Peter but I am away from home right now, in Wash, DC for another 2 weeks so I cant send it out until the weekend of the 20th. If your in a hurry it might be wiser to se if someone else can assist. But I am in no hurry for the return of the 1717 (a bunch more weeks here later) so you would have many weeks ( probably months) to hang on to it after delivery. Let me know.

John

[FighterCat57]

I can send you one today Pete. I have half a dozen already and am wanting a mount... so why not.

PM the address you want it shipped to.

Got it. Going out today.
I'm still going to bug you for some water holes in the mount. :spy:

[GP73]

Mmm, I could use one of those mounts... :biggrin:

[Punisher 67]

I will be starting the 5692 mounts tomorrow for the 3 people that ordered one or two , I will be doing the 1717's sometime next week just waiting for Bens to arrive to confirm front and rear ID/OD , sure wish I knew how long the water jacket was going to be . would be nice to have 3/16 between the wire assembly and where the rear of the jacket ends . the rear mount would fit snuggly in that area

Steve just got them in stock. Rumdog has a couple you can measure from as well.

If you order one from Steve, I can pay you for it. That way you can use it for testing in hand.

Let me know.

[Punisher 67]

That might not be a bad idea Ben , sure would take the guess work out

[FighterCat57]

Yeah, go ahead and get it. I'll cover your cost on it. There were a dozen last I looked, but might go fast with all the discount motors out there.

[Punisher 67]

Ok Ben I ordered one , Jeez that sucker is almost 60mm in dia , I will have to redesign the rear mount

Cool, either put it on my tab or let me know the total and I'll PP ya. :thumbup1:

[Punisher 67]

Total was $41.40 for the cooler shipped , it doesn't matter to me Ben . Like the oil commercial .......... "you can pay me now or you can pay me later"

1717 motor mount :tongue_smilie:

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it!

OT: what's the recommended material for making my own stringers? My hull doesn't have them from the factory, so have to fab them. Just not sure what material to use.

[MOSQUITO6717]

Payment sent . Can't wait to have it .. Thank you

[Simon170]

[ray schrauwen]

Is that 12S ?

[igottalongone]

I going to try the 1340kv on 6S 10,000mah first, if it's sik and runs forever, it's done... If's it's weak, I'm dropping in the 1090kv and HV controller and going 10S 5000mah... If that doesn't cut it, the 730kv goes in, THEN She's 12S...
By the way...
Is that a real Poncho? or is that a Sears Poncho?

[ray schrauwen]

Sorry for the late reply.....I am at my real job right now , good to hear everything worked out great for you Ron . your pictures are not coming through here

At home now and I can see them now , that looks great Ron , thanks for sharing

[Punisher 67]

Jim here are your 4.0" to 5.0" adaptors . these I just whipped up to get you rolling not saying these are the final design but will be similar in looks . these do take a little longer to machine than I would like so some refining is in order

Anyways they are in the mail today.....................Post some pics of your setup once done


1717 cooler came in today so I have started on that mount setup today , should have something definative very soon

[sailr]

Looks great Peter! You da man! Thanks so much.
