Well I started this kraton with the stock motor and blx. My upgrades made it too heavy and would heat up the motor well past 200f before a 6s pack was 1/2 done. So time for new electrics. Went with a hex6 because I found one cheap and the rocket 4585 motor from ebay. There is a thread on that one so short story is runs like a beast but too hot. That motor will find a new home soon.
After Mr.duke posted his build and a couple other guys using the hobbywing 4985 I thought if try it. Bought it right from hw and got it in 3 days. Killer motor, fits with the M2C motor mount with no mods. While running a 20t pinion it is a crazy fast basher. Still runs too hot. Was getting around 190f at the end of a pack.
Easy enough, just get a fan and mount right. So who makes a mount for a 49/47mm motor. How about know one. MrDuke makes a killer one, thought about copying his but I do not have proper sheet metal fab. equipment so it would look like a 6th grader made it. I like my shop stuff to not only work but look nice...
Made up a mount using a clamp method I learned years ago from another ptoject at work. Make an acentric and slit it. This allows for clamping action where the rear of the motor is not accessible or hindered for clearance. Made two and connected them with an aluminum fan mount holding two Hobbystar aluminum fans. Plan to make a top piece to hold the screens. Hopefully this will hold up. If not I will try and copy Mr.Dukes design. I'll let you know how it works. Here's a few pics.
