motor mount bond

Sometimes things are over engineered too Darin. As long as you don't need all the extra strength the tubing add's then the simpler way will work just as well.

In darin's mount the tubes are acting as the extra glue surface just as I describe.

A little engineering and planning goes a long ways...

Here are the pictures I promised... The epoxy was MAS FLAG Medium Laminating Epoxy, unthinned and brushed on with an acid brush. All of the carbon, etc., was coated with it, then placed in front of a heater. This helps it to flow and and get into the nooks and crannies...

Motor mount was installed at the same time... Carbon is temporarily held in place with CA glue to get everything situated...

Hope this helps...

I am with Darin... some decent resin should do the trick... I am about to install one myself.

Any good Ideas on how you would mount this to the hull?

Derrick,

I just used one of those in one of the 1/10ths I'm working on... After laying in some carbon fiber refinforcement tubing... which framed up the motor mount area, I simply scuffed the mount a tad, put on some laminating epoxy, and set it in place... A couple pieces of glass along the joint might not be a bad idea either...

I'll post some pics later tonight... Seems to be very solid...

I did have to file out the center hold just a tad to fit the SV27 motor onto it, due to the diameter of the front bearing housing... but it didn't take much... Seems like a nice motor mount... I'll likely be using another one on my other 1/10th...

I would glue a piece of square spruce .125X.125 or bigger to make a larger gluing surface on the bottom and epoxy it in place
