so i went and bought another macnum as they are nice and cheap and hear is what ive done so far



first of all i have made a carbon t plate. as the std one is very weak



i then started to trim the chassis to take the gearbox the other way round.



i then started to trim the other side away and found that i have to remove alot of plastic, so that only 2 of the screws holding the t plate can be used.



as you can see hear. due to this little problem i am going to make a wrap around brace to go arround the motor and bot to the chassis. to put strenth back into it their.



so you get an idea i am thinking of making a brace over the motor and going down the the chassis eather side of the battery slot.

i have a few more bits to fabricate and looking at making a rear hinge pin hanger / shock tower mount to the back of the gearbox.

Could you use a Mtroniks 400 sized motor that they use on there g2 systems as there alot smaller in dia than 540's
