Blaster Blaster 1 Motor swap 1100

Has anyone have any pics and have done a motor swap to a 1100 or a 1200 motor. Just wondering if they use the stock motor mounts and make a bed plate to fit ot do you cut the front glass mounts out and move them forward. Also is the stock mid shaft used. looking do do it as clean as possible. Thanks
 
Wait for Mark's set up, the Kawi 1100 is going to make more power and the exhaust will fit without having to run the motor so far forward. I will be doing one as a build example in a couple of months.

Steve,
I've done one with metal bedplate (so as to leave the hull untouched and convert it back to a stock 701)...

But If I had to do it again, will use a GP small shaft to move the engine further back, and do 2 metal beplate as to center the 1100 engine in the middle of the 2 stock motor mounts (instead of moving it forward). Found that moving it forward, the b1 is really nose heavy and not cornering as well as a normal b1, so it's much faster in the straight, but much slower in the corners. It all depends on the size of your track.

Since, I transplant the engine into a blaster 2... and it fits quite nicely too. Same concept, metal plate... so that you can reuse the hull later on with a stock engine.

Have fun...
