Cast Aluminum Motor Mounts

Lets face it, the paper thin motor mounts that come with your NTM Series motor are just... well.... trash. So my friend and I set out to make a stronger motor mount that still had some give on impact. Although I don't go into any detail for making these motor mounts I just quickly show the process.

 

 

 

Foam form packed in sand. Couldn't glue on a sprue due to a hot glue gun issue. (Couldn't find it)

 

"Prepping" a couple of old hard-drive trays for the crucible.

 

And in she goes!

 

Getting nice and melty!

 

 The finished product. It could use some milling but no one will really see it.

 

 Installed and ready to fly!

 

 

As always questions are more then welcome and happy flying!
