...This is a 540 mount but this is the type of thing you should be after ;)

bit i think that is just a heatsink, but i could be wrong. ok now i have another question, here it is: if i have the money to get the kyosho one what will it do for me? i was looking at this one:http://cgi.ebay.com/KYOSHO-MINI-INFERNO-Alum-Lt-Wt-MOTOR-MOUNT_W0QQitemZ6005582293QQcategoryZ34063QQssPageN ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem because its heatsink, but its GPM and if i can avoid it i dont want to give them money. now i want a heatsink motor mount but if i must i will get the 3racing or kyosho. oh and bit if you get the kyosho one can i buy youre 3racing one? it is used so it should be cheaper right :p . let me kno if you are getting the kyosho one. thanks you guys.

Bit, when you get the Kyosho part, weigh it and let us know if there is a couple of grams to save there. I don't know from looking which would be the heavier. :cool:

i think the kyosho is a few grams lighter, maby like 10 or 15.

...Hawk it definaetly COULD be lighter..See they have built the sides up at angles to get more alloy around the motor but to cut down on the fat...And those holes at the pinion end look good..Ok i will get one in the name of science...

...Matt unfortunately most of my 'used' gear will be going into a second chassis build-up..But you know i will help you where i can :cool:

i kno bit, but i didnt kno you were makin another H8! lol if one breaks you can drive the other. now which mount should i get? lighter or heatsink. i have the fan so i dont think temp will be a prob but i like yo be safe. we all kno a cool motor is a happy and efficent one!!
