Sledge reverse motor mount with stock chassis

[ithrowstones]

What's good RcT
I'm in the market for a reverse motor mount that works with the stock chassis for my trx sledge. Will have a Castle 1717 1650kv motor and x8s esc. It'll be a rowdy girl
M2c only works with m2c chassis, I sent them an email already.
I see so/so things with the Gpm one.
I'm not looking to spend $160+ on an aftermarket chassis then another $130 or so for a mount.
If you can help that'd be awesome!

I'm using the GPM version on the stock chassis and haven't had any issues yet. Been running it for about a year.

What's your driving style like? Any big jumps/hard landing and tumbles?
Any complaints with it?

Most of the bashing I do is on home made ramps or concrete skate parks. I dont get quite as crazy as Kevin Talbot but close, lol.

I've yet to have to reset gear lash or had any problems with the mesh. So far so good.

Yea I'm definitely no Kevin, just a few jumps 10-15' high, light skate park and what not. I'm glad to hear you have good review of it.
How's it bolt into the stock chassis? Any hole to be drilled?

No modifications were necessary but its been a year or so since I put it on so I dont recall specifics. Heck, I dont remember what I had for lunch yesterday, lol. Ill take a look when I get home in a few hours.

Right on, thanks! Feel free to post a picture or 2 of it as well

OK, I feel stupid. I'm running a GPM mount but its not reverse mount. My memory really stinks.

What motor are you using? Is it the castle 1650kv like i will be using?

 

[Mrgoodwrench35]

HW max 6 combo with 1650kv can.

Well i ended up going with M2C for my reverse mount. Everything bolts right up with the stock chassis with the exception of the bell end mount. Might put some hard foam under neath it or something similar. Stock chassis stamping gets in the way of the mount.

Have you ran it yet?

I only ran it up and down the street moderately to ensure everything was working properly after the rebuild. It was wet and kinda bleh out and I didnt want to get it messy quite yet
The few mins I did it seemed like a new rig so I'm excited to see what it does when I can open it up
