I started becoming more and more interested in working with rc motors and finally took the plunge making one for myself.\n\n== Parts ==\n\nBoard: MBS Comp 95x from MBS Mountainboards.\n\nMotor: Turnigy SK3 6364 from [http://www.asiatees.com AsiaTees]\n\nSprockets : Scooter sprocket and Motor Sprocket from [http://www.electricscooterparts.com Electric Scooter Parts]\n\nAluminum pieces: from the scrap yard\n\nThe batteries, controller, and throttle were all ordered from [http://www.asiatees.com AsiaTees]\n\nBatteries: Two 22.2v 5Ah lipo batteries.\n\nController: 150amp car ESC\n\nThrottle: Wireless 2.4 ghz\n\nOther parts: Wire, electrical tape, wire connectors, nuts and bolts, zip ties, tie down straps.\n\n== How to Build ==\n\n{{Step\n| number = 1\n| text = Gather your needed parts and supplies. Most important determine which motor you want and what board you want to use. Also you will need these tools.\nTools Used:\nSocket set,\nSawhorses,\nHacksaw (or equivalent),\nHammer,\nAdjustable wrenches,\nHex key wrenches,\nPliers,\nClamps,\nDrill and bits,\nGrinder ( or equivalent),\nMetal files,\nWire stripper,\nChain breaker,\nsoldering iron.\n| image = File:Mbs-comp-95x.png\n| caption = Figure 1: MBS Comp 95X.

This is what I used to make motor mount/bracket piece form.\n| image = File:Aluminiumscrap.JPG\n| caption = Figure 2: L channel (Photo by Garrett McElroy )\n}}\n\n{{Step\n| number = 3\n| text = I measured, cut and drilled the holes for the mount using the truck as your template since it will be bolted to the truck using the pre-existing brake mounting holes.\n| image = File:Mount1.JPG\n| caption = Figure 3: Main part of mount (Photo by Garrett McElroy )\n}}\n\n{{Step\n| number = 4\n| text = I also cut a v out of the center to allow for the mount to sit flush and allow for side to side movement of the truck.\n| image = File:Mount2.JPG\n| caption = Figure 3: Main part of mount (Photo by Garrett McElroy )\n}}\n\n{{Step\n| number = 5\n| text = Using pieces cut from the aluminum, a piece scavenged from another project I was able to come up with this mount. ( This will be different for everyone ) Once the mount was made I mounted the motor using the mounting screws that were provided.\n| image = File:MOtormount.JPG\n| caption = Figure 4: motor mount . (Photo by Garrett McElroy )\n}}\n\n{{Step\n| number = 6\n| text = Using the brake disc provided with the mountain board as a mount for the drive sprocket I drilled the holes and bolted it up making sure there was enough space for the chain to clear.\n\n[[File:Screen Shot 2013-04-18 at 8.46.44 PM.png|thumb|Disc mount used as mounting plate for drive sprocket.]]\n\n| image = File:Drive sprocket.png\n| caption = Figure 5: Sprocket mounting. (Photo by Garrett McElroy )\n}}\n\n{{Step\n| number = 7\n| text = After I mounted the drive sprocket to the wheel I installed the motor side sprocket and the chain. ( NOTE* You need to grind down a flat spot on the motor shaft so that the set screw has a flat surface to lock down on.) Also check for chain alignment before tightening down the set screw.\n| image = File:Chainalignment.JPG\n| caption = Figure 6: .

(Photo by Garrett McElroy )\n}}\n\n{{Step\n| number = 9\n| text = After getting everything mounted and ready I hooked up the batteries in parallel to give me 22.2v 10ah and used Velcro strapping to hold it to the board.\n| image = File:Batterymonitors2.JPG\n| caption = Figure 8: Battery packs wired up and ready to go.
