Modification is done with just a hand drill and a 1.6mm drill bit. Took less than an hour to do. Now the arm is fully adjustable and very strong. The arm now is stronger and more accurate than any other 94mm mount out there. It can't possibly move now.
That's where the screw and corresponding slot should have been in the first place. You only need one if it's down low. The high position of the screw is actually on the horizontal axis of the lip which lets it rock over it. Great fix though. I just serrated the surfaces on mine.

Most of the site´s content (the htmls anyway, and most of the pictures) can also be found in the internet archive:

http://web.archive.org/web/200712140....home.att.net/

This maybe helps in reconstructing it, too...:-)

bye, Frido.

Wow! Thanks!

Didn't know something like that existed. That makes reconstruction way easier since I still have all the pictures. Thank goodness for whoever did that site too

Thank you for the link.

I'm happy to say that I never had to use glue, lock tight or any modification on mine. Just tighen up the screw and my 2wd mod is ready to go. Thanks for this very convenient motor mount Philip!

FYI for others wanting to do this mod.

1.6 millimeters = 0.062992126 inches

.0625 inches = 1/16" drill bit should get you close!!

Nice writeup Ben.

Hi there guy's, I just got this same motor mount as part of my Reflex Racing package,

I tried it out for the first time on the track yesterday and only issue I had "so far" was that the motor mount came loose and the gears dis-engaged thus stalling the car. So I tightened it up again and it worked fine. After reading your posts I'll double check that verticle peice, but I dont' think it's an issue for me. I do think I need to rebuild it though to try and get the wire terminals away from the differential. I had thought that the motor's label was to face rearward?

Marc, I would suggest using a little threadlock on the screws that hold the motor adapter and the t-plate in. I try to use a little on every screw that goes into metal. Damper post screws especially. The last thing you want is a damper unscrewing in the middle of a race.

Add a little glue on the damper post arm as suggested earlier in the thread. Even if you dont have the problem, in a collision during a race it could easily develop into one. I had mine move on me last night, and the difference in performance was night and day.

I'd use blue thread lock before useing glue. I'll do that when I rebuild it.

My solid setup is a longer screw with an added washer and nut for the adjustable arm. When I added the nut the motor was hitting it and the alignment was off. I have added 2 washers between the motor and motor mount with longer screw and it is perfect now. No arm movement yet...
