Yes, this is what we need urgently as nobody seems to make one that I can't bend..!! ?
I've attached a pic to show you how easy it would be for you to make..?
It's just a flat piece on metal after all..!!

Thanks for providing even more choices for quality machined parts.?? One thing I noticed is it would be really hard to fit a big block 50mmish can, as that blx motor is already sitting pretty low. I'd be curious to see how it fits my 4985 Hobbywing ?

I designed the stock spacing replacement to be able to hold a mamba monster x. If memory serves me right, that's a 50mm motor. From there I have a "big can" option plate for the motors up to 58mm diameter and 30mm screw spacing. The motor here is a 5694.

They are available to purchacse at PPS-RC.COM.
Personally my "Style" is mainly going to be raw machined, with a beautiful yet "prototype" looking finish. Partly because I am not making high enough quantity to send to anodizing. I am also not going to go through all the hassle to commercially anodize myself just yet. Secondly, I genuinely like seeing machine marks. There is an extra level of detail that can be achieved from machine marks that is lost when you anodize, blast, tumble or polish. But I am also a machinist and love seeing that things are "Made" instead of mass produced.

I also prefer the raw aluminum look more then anodizing. At least you don't have to deal with matching 4 shades of red. heh
Real NICE! Just ordered!
BTW! Let me know if you ever make any Harley Streetglide parts

Thanks for the order! It'll be going out ASAP! As for the Harley parts... I hope to one day be able to get my hands on one for R&D.Real NICE! Just ordered!

I'm using USA made 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum, and it's precision CNC machined. I do make the adjuster nut manually on my vintage lathe out of stainless steel.
7075 is a good metal. I do use it on some parts but I just don't feel it is a justified expense on EVERYTHING I make. This mount would likely be an extra $30 made out of 7075, and I'd rather not charge everyone that extra $30 for a part where 6061 is a good fit.

I would absolutely love to help you research and test some of your products. I am capable of some hardcore bashing.

It's intuitive, I like things that serve more than a "bling" factor. Idk how fine your tooling can go, but I'd like to see a better steering setup than HR fixed link option.
this is insane.
IKR! I was the same way when I read it ?
Wow,looks like really nice stuff. Will their be any parts for the Arrma Senton?Hello! I'm Bob and I am fresh into the game.

This is my beautiful 1941 Logan lathe. Some hipster stole its legs to make a "retro industrial" coffee table that I hope they break their pinky toe on... Haha. I rebuilt it and got it back into proper running order. I left the 79 years of patina be. It's earned its right to look this good.
Thanks! Eventually I hope to have a full line of parts available. As What about Bob said... baby steps.
