Nice build. I have to say I’ll use it for reference when I continue my Falcon build. I initially tried the standard TB motor mounts, but couldn’t find a good angle for them. With the mounting positions available they ended up being almost horizontal. Which I know from another build to scrape motors, even with 107s.
So I’m considering the extended reverse mounts (or different mounts altogether). Although with 320-330mm 12mm belts, not having an idler is worrying.
I understand this entirely. I contemplated moving the truck back a bit by drilling new mounting holes but there’s not much room to go on the deck and I would worry about integrity. I didn’t want to turbo wedge either. I looked at about 15 different mounts, I have 5 sets of different ones sitting here in my box, none of them worked.
So I have some rear tb mounts in customs right now, released tomorrow and that will be my solution until something better comes along. I really didn’t want to rear mount but that’s just the way the cookie crumbled
Thanks for that input. I think the TB extended mounts will work, I’d rather have the motor clearance for full lean anyway. I just don’t know how much I trust 12mm belts at that length without a tensioner. Has anyone modded the TB extended mounts to have an idler? Or have different solution?
I have a set of @dickyho dual idler mounts here, I’m going to steal one of the idlers from each mount and install them on the TB reverse mount:
I’ll drill out a little section of the motor mounting groove to give it some stability from sliding and then use a decent size bolt to put this idler on.
The idler bearings have a lip on one side and a nylon spacer, perfect for holding the belt in place but they don’t look like they are the best bearings in the world I’ll see how they hold up and replace as needed.
removed receiver case for mounting in focbox case, wrapped in fishpaper
fit under here
not a bad fit a little tight when sealed
cut away a little plastic so the wires don’t get crushed on tighten
it lives…
this thing has brutal acceleration need to work on setting acceleration curve
so instead of that I decided to take my first test ride
wires need tiding (waiting on my auto switch) re-gripping still planned
and instantly found the same as @Static and @brenternet I’m going to have to lower my motors past the level where its sensible, I think I may go down the reverse mount route
thanks, just got back from first 2mile ride, everything seems to be working fine so far can’t wait to see how fast this will go, but since I built it I really need to test it properly first he he
the monkey on the washer really does make me smile so much every time I see it a great touch thanks
I’ll see how they hold up and replace as needed.
