    Nice find @bsft, I am not sure how we all missed such a handy mount!

    Yeah - I spotted them when trawling for my motor's but did not consider them because of the 4 holes for the mounts (not the three), so just assumed would not fit, or were not designed for the gearbox.

    Now after my build (and all the paths we take!) I could have just made a third (well fifth in this case) hole. *facepalm*

    I'm not sure if they are meant to take the gearbox, Archie. Looks to me that you actually put the round motors through them rather than attaching the gearbox to the side. I could be wrong.
    Nice find though, bsft.
