    here is a "scheme" provisional disposition with new engines made with paint (I have not Sketchup)
    the scales are not well respected, but it gives an idea of the result

    Nice compact job so far.

    You will likely need more robust bracket for engine mounts, as the motors generate quite a bit of force.

    As you know weld, a strengthening of the support should not be too complicated for you. Or you can use 2 brackets by motor.

    Because it's much more expensive :D
    These motors are used on 120° instead of 180° to gain enough speed :thumbs

    ils s' adaptent sur les moteurs 120w , tres facile a monter, une petite clef est fournie pour le serrage des potentiometres

    they fit on the 120w motors, very easy to assemble, a small key is provided for tightening the potentiometers
