just got a savage roller, need some help!

[bigD87]

I am new to the forum, but not to nitro rc just thought I'd join and hopefully give some knowledge as well as gain some! I just picked up a savage 25 roller no motor in it but came with a hpi .15 and the hpi .25 I'm assuming belongs to the truck. Problem is theres no motor mount for the .25 If anyone could give me a part # or post a pic of the mount I need. it looks like it has a homemade plate for mounting the .15 in the truck but I question whether that motor will move such a big truck. Any advice about motors/mounts or the savage in general would be much appreciated! I kind of know what I'm doing as I own a jato, revo and a slayer pro but havn't messed with HPI before now.

the plate is the thicker version that comes on the 5.9, but the motor mount works with any big block motor

so I need just the mount not the plate?

yes the motor mount you need i dunno if you have the plate or not, but 1 is needed to attach motor between frame rails. either an orange or purple one. the grey one will work ok too, but you may lose some adjustability as it is a bit thicker

alright thanks! it has the purple plate in it already so i just need to get the mount and find some wheels!
