Looking for FF (slim can) motor pods

[PetesLightKits]

Anyone be willing to share or know where I might find a motor pod for the beloved FF (slim) can motor?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Pete, there are actually a few to choose from.................

From the major manufacturers,...both Scaleauto and MRSlotcar make pods for the 050 motors........both of these are sidewinder configurations. I have used both, and both are very good, straight from the pkg.

Devis 3D also made (or did make ) them in, inline. sidewinder, and anglewinder configurations,........I have also used these, and while they did need a bit of fiddling, they work well and I would also recommend these. LEB Hobbies (and I assume others) have them in stock.

The Devis, and Scaleauto pods have standard "Slot-it" chassis hole dimensions, the MRslotcar pod is dedicated to Ernies' chassis, but, if you are scratchbuilding this is not difficult to design around

I may have omitted some other 3d print pods, and apologies to those folks ,if I have.

Cheers
Chris Walker

A couple of pics.,...........

A Devis design inline 050 pod.



A Devis design "anglewinder" 050 pod.



A MRSlotcar 050 sidewinder pod.......



I do not have handy pics. of the Devis design sidewinder pod, or the Scaleauto sidewinder pod...........sorry !!

Thanks for the information Chris. I think I might just design my own - I already have an s-can sidewinder that I can modify.

To go in what and which motor orientation?

Should have stated that in OP... inline, in a very small car - not mine so I don't know actual dimensions.

Aluminium adjustable one from Avant Slot.

An FF/FK-050 motor (AKA slim can) with 430 gcm torque would be truly astonishing (maybe with super cooled magnets, but that would probably present other problems). I believe that is an FK-180 (long can) motor and pod pictured.

An FF/FK-050 motor (AKA slim can) with 430 gcm torque would be a miracle!!!...or a lie...the Professor Motor PMTR1532 is 35,000 RPM @ 12 Volts
150 gm-cm Maximum Torque and the closest you'll probably find and is the motor shown in Chris's sidewinder photo above.
