Revo engine brace

[Trefforestboy]

Hi new to this forum, but could do with some help fabricating a engine brace for a traxxas revo,Due to flex i know you can buy a m2c Brace but would like to make something my self as the brace is hard to find in the uk.Pics or any advice would be much appreciated thanks.Also while I am making a post, does anyone run a center diff with a picco 26 max and does it help with controlling wheelies. Cheers

This isn't the greatest of pics but if you look close I used a donor frame and cut the engine part out of it then bolted it up under that spot. I am sure that you could bend a piece of steel to do the same. Good luck

I forget, is that aluminum or steel? Thinking of beefing up my BB revo as the engine bay flexes a lot and causes bad gear mesh on me pretty frequently. I'll probably make something out of 1/8" aluminum like the M2C one.
