Senton 3S BLX Motor Mount

[SteevDayv]

Does anyone have a source on a replacement aluminum plate for the current 3S BLX models? Is there an aftermarket plate that anyone would recommend? Are the old 3s mounts compatible with the current line? My original plate has a decent bend to it. Thanks for your advice.

Where are you located? If in the U.S., Jenny’s has takeoffs for sale that come with the heatsink and mount:

otherwise they are available from online shops like Amain.

m2c makes an aftermarket mount which is a lot stronger but it’s also $70ish

I guess the best would be M2C racing, but that's the spendiest. You get what you pay for. I'll just leave this here.

Yeah, Jenny's is out of stock on all the 3S BLX mounts, they were my first stop. Any idea if the Hot Racing plate will fit? It looks like it was made for the discontinued models.

also looks like Mitch and company are selling the mount and brace separately - $30 for the mount

I guess you can just get the motor mount too.

I just saw that

Thanks, all. Just picked up the M2C mount.
An additional quick question, is the stock plate known to warp?

Sorry didn't see you grabbed the m2c one.

My Typhon motor mount bent somehow and I have no idea how other than the theory that it happened when I went head on into a curb at about 10mph lol Other than that, I didn't crash or do any jumps (because I didn't know how) to make it bend. I did stop stripping spur gears after I replaced it I noticed.

Uuuuuhhhhh, did you buy the mount AND the other piece. I just saw this. I don't know if it matters, but I'll just leave this here. Its a screenshot from the bottom of the motor mount and brace page.

I did NOT order the brace, just the plate. About an hour later, I got an email from Mitch letting me know that due to the compatibility issue, he would be sending the full kit. It doesn’t appear that you can order them separately now.
I think this is top-notch customer service. I will definitely be ordering through them in the future.
