The motor's outer diameter measures 37.7 millimeters. After tightening the M8 bolts, the motor refuses to move. I opted for hex head bolts since I didn't have any on hand at the moment. The Fusion 360 design file is attached so you can modify it as needed. This electric motor was designed for use in a kid's ride-on car. It also has potential applications in mini electric go-karts, thanks to its versatile design. Four holes are strategically placed at the lower corners of the mount to ensure optimal tensioning of the chain or belt. The mount is designed to work in conjunction with two rails that accept M8 nuts as T-nuts. The resulting assembly provides a sturdy base for the motor and eliminates any wobbling issues. With a sleeve diameter of 34 millimeters, there's ample space around the motor for cooling propellers and gear systems. The mount itself measures 34 millimeters in diameter, leaving room for these essential components. When planning to use this motor, keep in mind that it may become loose due to heat factors if not properly secured. This is especially true during prolonged periods of operation.
