Well I got a dc65a on the way and haven't heard on the 84--- I see how they mount that too! Kinda cool and I thought the motor arm was driving a sidewinder style..thanks for the clear pic!!

It's not really the most elegant mounting system in the world!
I think whatever you can jury-rig for this thing would be fine - but given the layout of the chassis, it probably has to be inline.
For the DC65, maybe some L-shaped brackets soldered or screwed to the plate, with holes for the 4 long screws in the motor...

Sorry, I should have posted this long ago. This stuff is so familiar to me that I forget some guys didn't grow up dreaming about Pittmans!
The Kemtron motors have a different brush setup and I think they are a bit smaller than the big Pittman and Ram motors, but the same general size and layout - what are called laminated pole motors because the magnetic poles are made of multiple laminations. The difference on the later DC84 and DC857 is that these laminations are quite a bit thinner - kind of like the improvement in can arm lams!

This thread kinda morphed into something other than a want ad, so I moved into the Slot Drag Racing forum.

Here's my beautiful chassis.... Gotta decide on a motor! Thank you Paul
Very nice chassis. I got one of these myself a while ago on eBay (rolling chassis) and put this together.
The motor is a Pactra "Hemi X-98" which I managed to squeeze in.
Still a work in progress, needs a body. Any suggestion?
