Mini-Z R.I.S Motor Mount For 98mm

bought this to address my problem of the self centering damper kit not matching up well with a PN motor mount.

the instructions include directions for mounting a brushless motor only. the website product information states these are compatible with 130 motors, both screw and non screw variety.

my question is, how does one actually install a 130 motor? in putting one in, the bottom cross bracing hits the can before the mounting holes lineup. it's not even close really as the bearing point his the mount before you get both holes flush with mount. the vertical orientation of the screw points don't allow for tiling the motor enough.


so, anyone out there with this able to explain to me what i'm doing wrong with this?

Arch, hard to tell without having the part... but you may need to lay the motor flat, and use the included adapter to adjust mesh. Let me know if that works.


Since I haven't seen the brushless motors/mounts yet, I don't know if this is solely for a brushless motor, but I would think that the mount should position a 130 flat.

as EMU has subsequently pointed out, this is incorrect.
that is simply a spacer or bracket for BL motors and of no value for anything else that i can discern. it has no adjustability with screw point location anyway so it maintains the same motor alignment regardless.
you can't lay the motor flat with the screw points at top and bottom orientation.


the piece serves as a 90 degree adapter, not a pass thru.

From what I can see, you can screw one screw into the motor (with taper headed screw), which will retain it to the adapter, much like the Reflex mount, and then use the two screws to mount the adapter to the motormount. It is not a pass through, but more of a 90 degree adapter. I don't know whether this is viable, but just what I see when looking at the picture. Let me know if this works.

this is why i love the site offers up a slice of humble pie every once in awhile
you are correct, i was looking at it as a pass thru adapter, not a 90 degree adapter and it indeed works this way. i'm going to reverse the bracket in a minute.

i'd advise using loctite as 4mm screw is a bit short and 6mm is too long without shims.

next issue... the damper support arm hits the motor can limiting the adjustability of the top slide by half the distance available. i hope there is enough play that this doesn't cause an issue with setting gear mesh. lets just say you have VERY limited amount of play in motor positioning.
