motor mount

[John boat]

looking for a easy way to mount the motor. i am building a mean machine an stumped. i have a alum mount from aeromarine an they said to cut a wood wedge an glue it in the hull then mount. this woulld be great if i had a wood shop whats the standard way to mount motors an whats a good mount. looking for something easy. was thinking of making a mount that would mount in to alum rails that gule to the bottom an then bolt in mounts

just a few mounts available from OSE here.
they are glassed in place is all. they all work very nice.

What motor you using?

[John boat]

uli brushless

That's a rather small motor for that hull no?

[John boat]

its the little hull i was told its a good set up

I've made motor mounts out of aluminum angle you can get at home depot.
There is a couple ways to make them work but your best bet is buy 1 already made that you can just glue/glass in place. Last thing you want it the mount coming loose on you!

Search for what other mounts people have used for the MM.
Why reinvent the wheel when others have done it...

Ul1 motor should be ok just try to keep the weight down on the boat to around 6lbs rtr and you should see some decent speeds with it.

yeah that would suck i hope to have the trailer cleaning out so i can start working on it this weekend ill post pics

Danny, check out my mono pics in"my gallery" at the bottom of my post...you will see the rail mount that I made...might be something you could do. The motor mounts I used are from southriverrc....

Go to the Motor Mount section here on OSE. Plenth of "drop/glue in" mounts. On my MM I used a $10 Insane Boats mount, much like

I laid a base of 3/32 birch ply on the bottom - my MM was the cheaper "water damaged" version. Then STRONG epoxy; West Systems G-Flex and it won't ever break loose.

Nope, think u are confused. Propperchopper had his MM hitting 50 in oval trim with the ul1 motor. The MM is roughly the same size as a Geico or a Mötley Crüe

Mike, Actually it's the Motley Crew that does 50(+:spy:) in heat race trim (2.5 min max). When I tested the MM alongside the MC with a UL-1 and a 442, the MM did 44.xxmph, the Crew did 46.xx. For sport running the MM, I'd definitly go 1800 KV for less amp draw & cooler temps and similiar speeds.

BTW where did you find the umlaut "o" and "u" ?

I like the basic motor mount you have pics of Tony...might be a good way for JB to throw something together....pretty sure he wants something to run in B/P-lim. Hydro at our next Dist. race....

Kent, these are also used in the FE30 P-Sport rigs and support 1515 Neu motors (or Leo 4074's). Highly suggest West G-Flex to stick them down.

Cool! Just went on the Insane site and saw it (similar to the Vacuboats mount)...might get one to use on one of my builds. I like the fact that is thick and does not need a rear support for the mid length motors 1515/4074....

it does look vey stron i may have to do that also i like how it looks
