First off thanks for the generous amounts helpful info i really do appreciate it,not having the mount yet i wasnt sure about the stock spur fitting because of the larger bearings i thought you needed 7075 spur to run there mount being able to use the stock spur gear will be helpful and i was looking at the hobbystar motors as well im hoping ill be able to get this motor mount i was able to add it to my cart so ordered it and paid everything went through but when i went back later just to look on the site there was no option to add another mount to the cart which leads me to belive they are out of stock maybe i was lucky and got the last one im just waiting for an email or order status ill cross my fingersYou can still do the 5892 with no problem. The only issue would be is pinion gear size. You can run the stock 41 spur with a 13T pinion or the 7075rc 48 spur with a 10T or 11T pinion. So ok lets do some calculation...... Stock setup is 10T or 11T pinion with 41 spur. I have seen some videos on YouTube of XBE doing 80 to 85 mph with the stock 41 spur and a 15T or 16T pinion. So to get about the same speed with about the same equivalent gear ratio. You can run 7075rc 48 spur with a 10T pinion. Now compare it to stock gears is like a 41 spur and a 17T pinion. If you go with 7075rc 44 spur, you can run a 14T pinion. Now compare it to stock gears is like a 41 spur and a 17T pinion. I just took off some millimeters on my chassis just to be able to run a taller pinion with the stock 41 spur. I'm running a 22 pinion and it's to much. The leopard 1000kv motor can handle it but I need a very large straightaway just to top it out. Which I haven't found one yet unless I go to a drag strip.....lol. But If you just want to have crazy torque with some good speed with no modification done to the chassis, I would say go with the leopard 5892 with 7075rc 48 spur and 7075rc 10T or 11T pinion or 7075rc 44 spur and 7075rc 12T or 13T pinion or stock 41 spur and a 13T pinion. You will enjoy it...... Oh yeah by the way, If I do get a 7075rc chassis made, I will give you my old chassis for sure.
@helloman1976 if you're looking for quality stuff then I'd probably just stop looking and go with the 7075RC motor mounts as you're probably not going to find anything better.
That said, it's unfortunate news for sure regarding Kershaw Designs as he made great products as well.
I am currently waiting on a 7075 motor mount so i thought id try a kershaw in the mean time the site is currently not accepting online payments it said contact to finish transaction,i called and emailed with no respinse to this time i hope the get back to me
