Carbon motor mount 8$

Interesting. do you know what will be the price for 10 aluminum parts? I can do nothing with only half of the mount :worried:

lol I’m not surprised. If you look hard enough you can get each mount for around $10-20 in small quantities (even with screws and anodizing). This is why I always design my own parts.

This usually leads to acquiring new skills - so yes designing yourself (or at least modifying ) is great.

But sometimes it is nice to just buy (a mount) and focus on other parts ;-).

@fedestanco

Would that company also be open to create that carbon part with (thicker) aluminium? The heat dissipation a full aluminum mount offers is something to not just neglect. Might help with a lot of “high drain” situations (i.e. going up a hill). That is why I personally would not order the enertion mount and rather go with many of the other options out there

I’m sure it can be done. The carbon right now is perfect at 5mm thick. Not sure how thick other mounts are.

So are we talking about doing a group buy, because I am down.

@Pantologist

The nice part about carbon fiber is, that it has less weight than aluminium. The downside though is, that heat stays trapped at the motor.

Check this thread on ebuilders - the thermal images are quite interesting

@fedestanco

On the design, did you already put the pieces together? It looks like that holes for the splint of the motor plate on the hangar mounting clamp are to close to the axle. (Which would result in the mounting plate “hitting” the axle) - but it might just the perspective

I would be down for a group buy!

Any idea how thick other mounting plates made of metal are?

All the designs fit perfectly since I assembled them on adobe inventor. Carbon fiber thickness is 5mm (as enertion’s). The aluminum part (2nd drawing) is designed to be 15mm, but if you choose a strong alloy like 7075 I believe 10mm will be enough. I am sorry to offer just half of the mount but If you buy less than 100pcs you will pay at least 15$ just for the aluminum. Anyhow THIS IS A GROUP BUY so please hands up :raised_hand: if you are interested. Please let me know if you need further info.

I’m in. But I’d also need to aluminum part, so… - But, I’d be willing to pay $15 for the aluminum.

You guys are free to help me find a better deal on the internet. Just search custom cut aluminum on alibaba and send the request (I will post the drawings later). I wasn t too concerned with the aluminum part since it is crazy easy to make at home and super cheap (5$ if you pick up the best alloy).

I am up for 2 pairs. Even better, if we replace everything with aluminum, no? A little pricier but it will conduct heat better.

Hey try and ask a company call atomatics in Pittsburgh Pa. And see if they can beat the price!

Im interested to buy a motor mount (carbon + alu part) How much total and shipping to Denmark?

I would be interested for atleast 2 complete sets. (Shipping to Sweden?)

Also interested in an aluminium and Carbon part with shipping to belgium :slight_smile:

Me too please

i’d be interested in a mount or two

I’d take 2

OK guys I am glad that this group buy is having a bit of success. Let me organize things a bit better:

What I wanted to do untill few minutes ago :make 10pcs group buy JUST FOR THE CARBON PART to save a bit of shipping fee

BUT since many people are interested in buying also the aluminum part this group buy could drift to another direction-----1 PROBLEM: aluminum manufacturing cost for small quantities (the only company I contacted offered 5$/piece-no shipping- if I buy 100pcs or more, BUT for a quantity they consider “sample”, the price will be 15$)

This is what I am going to do: ask few more companies whether they could let us pay a reasonable price (5-10$) for 10pcs. Otherwise I WILL GO JUST WITH THE CARBON PART and I will manage this group buy just form me and THE FIRST 10 COMMENTERS OF THIS TOPIC.

The rank for this group buy is:

@awcrusius @karma @michaeld33 @mishrasubhransu (would you be in also without the aluminum part?)* @OHS (would you be in also without the aluminum part?)* @Dunmer (would you be in also without the aluminum part?)* @Blacksheep (would you be in also without the aluminum part?)* @abenny (would you be in also without the aluminum part?)* @barajabali (would you be in also without the aluminum part?)

I sincerely hope to find a good deal for the aluminum in less than 3/4 days, but if I won’t be lucky I ask the * guy to stay in or leave BECAUSE I WILL PROCEED with the only-carbon group.

Thank you for the patience. PS shipping info in chat-----product info in the forum
