Grid RC Ve8 motor mount

Grid RC have released this new motor mount for the Hot Bodies Ve8. Designed to support the popular Neu/Castle and Tekin motors, it uses an eccentric style of mesh adjustment that allows precise mesh settings and when locked, holds it regardless of how hard the vehicle is driven. The ball bearing motor plate will support four mounting screws for most 1/8 motors and a special pattern for the Tekin that uses six holes. The Grid motor mount allows enough spacing so that the sensor cable can be used and the Grid custom top differential bulkhead plate is also included with the mount kit.
