GCM Scaler Truck Motor and Servo Mounts shown here.

Note: The mounts shown below will work with any Axial Crawler-width straight frame setups. They measure 80mm across on mounting locations.

As you know, when building a scaler truck with a full interior, it is no longer a good idea to use the Axial Crawler gearbox mounted to the center skidplate, due to it being tall and having the large spur gear sticking up from the center. Many builders remedy this with a smaller center gearbox, like an R2 or similar, or a GCM Transfer Case. The question then becomes.... where do I put the gearbox and motor? Below you will find the answer to this problem.. GCM style.

Shown above is our Direct Drive Front Motor mount setup with our super slow 5 pole motor. This motor mount is designed to fit into any axial-width frame rails (80.5mm wide), and will hold your motor securely in place. If using the shock tower as a support, as shown here, this makes the front of the truck ridgid and in line with the gearbox input on the center skid. If using an R2 gearbox or any sort of gear reduction unit you can install the motor way up front and keep the gearbox assembly low and easy.

The above mount can also be used for a large scale project, by simply using this mount in any position or frame setup. It's a simple, cheap, and solid way of getting your motor power on the build with little effort in custom brackets or rigging. When using a solid flat rail, a machined part like this used across the rails can make the setup tight and stay straight. The motor mount slide and motor screw holes will accomodate all of the popular motor sizes and there's room to adjust positions left and right to clear any other equipment you may have on the frames, such as servos or electrics.

The above picture shows the differences between the Front Motor Mount, near in the picture, and the Axial Transmission Front Mount, shown in the rear of the picture. This Axial Trans Mount will move your stock Axial center transmission right up front and make all the room you need for your GCM Transfer Case, and a nice low center section. This will make plenty of room for your scale interior and because the GCM Transfer Case is so small, you can even fit some electronics beside it on the skidplate. Below is a picture of the Axial Trans Mount in our CrossCanyon frame - a direct bolt on fit. This Trans mount replaces the stock Axial motor plate, part for part, and then allows the attachment of the entire motor/gearbox unit to your frame rails. It's simple, and it works. Your output on the Axial trans is pointed right at the skidplate in this setup and lines up perfectly with the transfer case on the center skidplate.

Shown below is the Motor plate by itself. This shows the motor adjustment ability, as well as the pre-threaded holes for a direct replacement of the stock Axial motor plate. Also shown below is the assembly from both sides. It's no more complicated than removing the spur and motor, replacing the motor plate, and re-attaching the spur and motor, and you're done!

The VENOM Creeper motor plate, shown below, works just the same way as the Axial motor plate, simply replacing the stock trans motor plate, and then re-installing the motor, and you are done. This VENOM motor plate locates your electric motor in the center position for a clean and easy setup with a real low center of gravity - great for a scale crawler.

Enter the GCM Servo Mount for Scale chassis. This great little part makes a solid front mount for servos of all kinds, and a solid front frame support. Because of the Billet Aluminum construction, you can also mount just about any type of body mount or front bumper/winch bracket to this solid unit. It makes a real simple front servo conversion and a nice support for the front of the frames. You also need a frame mounted servo for many of the scale competitions, including TTC builds, and this tough mount will handle any abuse you send it's way. This servo mount shown is designed for full width frames like our CrossCanyon kit, and will not fit between the front of an SCX10 frame. (we are working on that design also)

Shown below is the servo mount installed in our CrossCanyon frame - a direct bolt on fit. In our full droop setup, the steering link is in perfect alignment with the axle, and we have the servo mounted on the TOP of the bracket. If you have a sprung truck, simply move the servo to be mounted UNDER the bracket, and you will have a nice straight line for the steering links. It's as easy as moving the attachment screws. The bracket is also reversible and can be mounted right or left bias, as well as flipped to have the servo behind the brace, or in front of the brace. Got a Rear steer? Just bolt this bracket in the rear of the frame or just about anywhere! and use it for rear steer, dig switching, or winch mounting. It's as versatile as you want it to be. And there's a nice flat area beside the servo mounting for a RX mount or ESC attachment. The possibilities are endless, but in any use, this bracket will make your frame stiffer and support your equipment well.

All of these mounts are a direct bolt on fit for our CrossCanyon chassis, but are easily adapted to just about any scaler chassis or custom frame. All parts shown here in silver finish are for picture show only, and all parts are available for sale in Black Anodize finish only.
