Latest thoughts: Push the angle winder approach a little farther; A motor "harness" to couple motor to axle. provide a rear body mount and use a "bolt-in" motor fastening so it can be changed out without rebuilding the chassis:
0.050" stainless steel sheet cut and bent per sketch:
pluses: no soldering to motor, 3/16" ID axle carrier tube will accommodate ball bearings (in hand)
minuses: added weight
unknowns: motor/axle connection sufficiently rigid? Will it fit? (next step is scale dwg) Fabrication - cut, saw & file or laser cut (?$?)
Feels good to have something resembling progress instead just meandering in circles.
Comments & suggestions please
