    Would anyone be interested in carbon fiber zelos motor mounts?

    As some of you know, if you have a nice crash with the zelos twin, the motor mounts could become misaligned. Not fun in my opinion as you could burn stuff up or melt the Teflon tubing. Josh and I had an idea of making some stronger motor mounts. Josh and I (shua) got together on this and he (because he has more spare time than I do and he's very meticulous) made a template for me. It's on the way to me and I'm going to make a file or have one made so I can cut some out of 3mm carbon fiber on my CNC machine. I can cut extras if anyone else is interested. I'm not looking to get rich off this, but just wanted to offer this option to my fellow zelos owners. I'm thinking I should have the motor screw holes slotted maybe 1/4" long for any variation in manufacturing. Let me know if anyone would be interested.

    Do note, this will need to be epoxied in. Nothing major. The factory mount stays in place.


    Here's some pics josh took for me of his perfectly fitting template.


    This is a TP 4050 for mockup

    So just the base of it will need to be epoxied or the side as well? Seems like a future proof plan. I might hop on board when I get my Z moving again.

      No. The whole thing needs to be epoxied in. It's not complicated
