Thanks @NicJames

I've seen a bunch of guys on youtube using that motor mount with zero complaints. Spendy but they can handle high torque.

I'm not going to put the belt system in mine but I am buying this motor mount. Of course in green... :D The gears look pretty beefy.

Fire Marshall Bill to the rescue.

The point is, it was on FIYAH :D

I noticed that too. I was definitely a Lipo burning but it sounded like the dude was in a state of shock. Sucks regardless. EDIT: After looking closer at the video, I'm seeing two areas of smoke coming out and almost looks like an area close to the front of the motor.

This really sucks but we determined one thing....FIYAA

We run at a motorcycle park with a little section perfect for running. A skate park, but we rarely go there. The sand dunes are my favorite place to run both in hard packed sand parking lot and a little section with smaller jumps. I have never had a heat issue with any of my rigs because I watch...

I would think the Xmaxx runs a bit hot as it is? It looks cool as hell but I doubt I will go with it.

I will definitely let you know...

I'm thinking the same thing.

I still think I'll pass on them but who knows, I may get bored and purchase a set some day.

I'm really not impressed with it for that very reason. The motor is going to have a ton of torque and sitting on top of a plastic spacer isn't going to help any. @StonerRC365 points out something which makes total sense. These youtube guys that post there mods don't post a video of it failing...

I did notice there is the plastic spacer that goes in there with this mod also. I'm not going to purchase it but was just wondering. I agree with you, the advantages are obvious but the belt would be worrisome for me and you are correct, I don't bash hard. :)

I've been checking them out and other than the obvious saved blowing of the spur and pinion, in which I can see a belt failing more often. I was just wondering what the advantage would be.

Any Xmaxx owners have any pro and cons on the Xmaxx belt drive system?

You are right, it should be up to user preference. A ball park figure getting it close would be cool though. The bracket that holds down the bell crank really compresses the spring so at least I know it goes that far. My guess would be to tighten it down just until the hold down bracket fits snug.

I kind of figured that. Thanks Wicked. Someday when I grow up, I will be a master Xmaxx assembler .. :p

This question is for the Xmaxx owners @StonerRC365 and others, how tight should the steering bell crank spring be tightened down on the Xmaxx? I've done a little bit of research but can't find anything.
