I've seen a few have you looked on like Banggood or wish? I know ordering from china sucks but ya I've seen a few aluminum motor mounts for the WLtoys 14401 for the brushless conversion.

I had seen this type, but was looking for something nicer...
I'll figure out something

Ya unfortunately I believe those are the only ones I've found so far as well. Might be able to Mod one and add more support instead of having a floating motor add support from the bottom. At $5 not going to hurt to try anyways?
 
First "upgrade"/fix some new rear dog bones. Bent the stock ones pretty good on his first bash yesterday.

Got a good amount done today on the aluminum upgrades. Front and rear shock towers, front and rear hubs and A arms, rear shocks to the blue set, he wanted to leave red front. Greased up diffs and put some diff fluid in as well. Think we have a Red, White and Blue theme going on here too like Dad's Kraton 6s.

HUGE shout out to @Notorious J!!!! Thank you very much brother!!! Got the ESC and motor for Xavier's WLtoys 144001 you sent us today. Can't say how much we appreciate the beyond kind gesture of a free ESC and motor for his build!! Thanks again J for being such an awesome guy!!!

Ok think we got the last few things needed to get the brushless conversion done. Already got the 3 wire servo, ordered motor mount and pinion so should be good to go.

She's got some power is an understatement, didn't even get but half throttle and rear tires exploded??
 
@Notorious J And you said the motor and ESC wasn't anything special?. Blew my mind the power from this little set-up?. Now if I can find some tires that will hold up think we got a speed rig for sure. Speed calculator says setup will do about 90mph which I still don't know if I believe?
