djr2096 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 What motor mount have you used ? Kyosho MP9! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr2096 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Ok for thoughs asking what I used as a motor mount & if a D8 conversion kit would be better, here's a comparison pic for you to look at! Ok on the left of the pic is the Kyosho MP9 mount I used. As you can see I had to make the mounting hole a little bit wider!! For thoughs who are interested in useing a D8 mount or are indout it will fit, On the left side of the pic we see a D8 mount spacer that sits beneath the diff mount. As you can see the screws mach up perfectly!! While I was building my D8 I did try one of its diff mounts in my Trophy. It fit! So there you have it!!

daveb948576 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Is there a part number for the d8 motor mount? Is it the same as the d8t and the vorza or are they different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Part number as the motor mount isn't a HPI/Hot Bodies sanctioned part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveb948576 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Is there stock for this mount in the UK? Why not just buy the mount for the lightning stadium pro as it was made for this, I'm looking in to a cheaper option for the mount as shipping from the US sucks for the conversion kits.

I was told by the guy who's thread I was following that the Lightning stadium pro didn't fit as well as the MP9 one. So I went with the MP9 like he used. I didn't really question it as I wanted to play it safe at the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveb948576 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Lol kids are finally asleep, i'll have a search for the mp9 mount and grab that thanks. I'd rather get something that works than something I'm going to have to throw in the bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some pics up at some point. Would be good to see!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveb948576 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) does the MP9E motor mount fit? that should have a part number and a good supply of them as its a kyosho part that they have on one of there products, check out the price of it though! http://www.infernosonly.com/Kyosho_Inferno_MP9e_and_VE_Brushless_Motor_Mount_S_p/kyoif501.htm<br> Edited August 1, 2011 by daveb948576 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr2096 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 You could use them but as I said & shown pictures on this thread, You have to make one of your diff holes wider! The MP9 mount I used was noot a Kyosho sanctioned part! They weren't out at the time I don't think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
