Galp made the mounts for me. I would contact him.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will shave the bottom piece and hopefully that will be enough for the shaft to clear the tyre.

So I put a spacer so that the shaft doesn't hit the tyre: Only issue now is that it looks like quite a tight squeeze for the belt between the mount and the tyre. Alternatively, could I purchase a replacement shaft that is longer and have it in this configuration: Thoughts? Is it even...

Yeah i might think about shaving off the shaft. I could also put a spacer between the motor and the mount to bring the shaft a bit to the right couldn't I?

Looks great! How does the mount fix to the board?

So my motor mounts arrived after the package was held in customs for too long! I have run into a couple of issues. Depending on how I mount the brackets I will either be hitting the tyre with the shaft: ..and therefore I will need a big spacer to clear the tyre: Or I am too far away...

Alternatively, has anyone used or have an opinion on this one: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__33984__Turnigy_Trackstar_150A_GenII_1_8th_Scale_Sensored_Brushless_Car_ESC_PC_Programmable.html

It has the following: • Adjustable F3A brake. • 3 steps adjustable normal EMF brake Is that the kind of brakes I need to have?

Understood, thanks guys. I have reconsidered my ESC selection as I have decided to go only 6s Lipo. Does anybody have experience or comments on this one: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__28371__Hobbyking_YEP_150A_2_6S_SBEC_Brushless_Speed_Controller.html It looks like it does the...

Thanks for the help guys. I went for a 10AWG connector just to make it easy on myself. Regarding the ESC. Does anyone know if i'm able to connect two motors to the single ESC or would I have to purchase an additional ESC? Is there a wiring diagram to help me if this is possible?

So my mounts have been machined and are on the way: My two 63mm motors and HK esc has arrived. I just wanted to ask a few questions. I plan to order 2 x 5s motors and am not sure which connectors to purchase in order to run them in series to make 10s. Is this the correct one...

Ah ok, is there instructions for me to configure this from scratch?

How much would shipping cost to London, UK?

Thanks for the feedback, based on that I will go for a chain drive. The ESC has braking and all the trimmings I require. I have decided to go for 2 x 4s setup to allow for slimmer batteries. I'm in the UK so I will be using beltingonline.com for my pulleys and belts.

Ah sorry, I forgot to mention that it will have that in the final design. That was a first draft that he sent to me and not yet completed.
