Motor Mounts

[Punisher 67]

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......................

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.

Cheers Bonewar

man thats ugly! haha my little carbon fiber buddy

[Punisher 67]

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

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?

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]

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

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

Here is a video of the little beast in action

Loooking good Kevin , A 1521 in a 33" boat , man thats gonna haul some a$$

Thanks for posting , I think its very important to have a good picture reference from all the builders that have posted here , A newbie building his first boat has a wealth of info here on component placement......................
