Newly retired Chuck Gambo has been getting around to some cool hobby projects.

Here's his latest.

He mentioned, while not interested in building these for a living, he might do one or two, for someone with moderately deep pockets.

You can PM him here, if interested, at;

Awesome motor mount!

 

I wonder how much he wants for just the mount?

You can PM him and ask him.

 

The worse he can say is 'no."

Too cool! Totally retro. Very nice aluminum motor bracket. The set-screw assembly is a neat innovation. Just the thing 

for the guy who is a little apprehensive about his soldering skills.

The set screws would also allow one to modify the chassis's wheelbase or even change the rails design, if desired.
