View attachment 15203....i get down there at my shop an just get involved in makein things like this esc support..made that out of a peice of 1 x 2 x 6. T6061 aluminum...machined it out on the milling machine

- - - Updated - - -

well here it is with the esc installed..tapped lower bracket for 4 - 40 screws

 

[grumpy1]

even made these bullet outter wheel collars ...even the inner locks are aluminum...just looks a lot cleaner to me with those outer colars...like having a clean car with dirty tires an no hub caps

...you cant hardly see the esc mount now it fits snug behind the firewall ...has 2. 4- 40 x 1/4 buttom head screws from the bottom up..with the bec switch on the bottom also...on top the 2 screws that hold the battery asess cover on hold the top of esc with threaded inserts in top of firewall

Nice work mate
I will be using the lathe and TIG welder at work to fab some parts for my toys soon

 

[grumpy1]

Besides a some of the other basic shop equipment a lathe was the first major piece of equipment i bought..looked for a used one for about a year..about everyone of them had varing degrees of ware close to the chuck...finialy just broke down an bought a new one..a enco..100" c to c...an can swing 16"..25 years old ...still works good..it taught me a valuable lesson i still use everyday...after about 1000. bucks in burned up tooling i learned you cant rush most machine work

 

[grumpy1]

Evenin folks....its gotta get better
