The left motor is mounted to the steel plate. I reassembled the casing to mate the motor to the gearbox. I may drill a couple 1 inch holes to act as additional vents to cool the motor.

I made a hole on the ends of the casing to feed the power wires through.

Josh, I am not laughing, that is easy to do. Looking forward to your updates on your project. Steve S

A quick test for shows I need to do some trimming of the case or the plastic on the frame to line up with the bracket mounting holes. I will do this and go from there.

Oh and thanks Steve , I appreciate the support.

Ok so I dug out the plastic sprockets and chain, I really intended on using the metal chain but the location eludes me. So I will use the plastic chain as a place setter till I find the stronger metal counterpart.

The chain came in a baggy of individual links so I had the pleasure of painstakingly twisting and pushing these links till they snapped together. Poor fingertips:(

I know have 6 feet of this stuff I believe.

Ok yet another hurdle , once the motors are in I can see the drills output shaft lacks about an inch and a half longer to align with a drive sprocket. Maybe I could weld on an extension?

Good news , servo city machines aluminum hub spacers I can use to extend the shaft long enough to align with the wheel hub sprocket.

So now I wait will I get the parts to do this. In the mean time I can start wiring and finding ways to mount the motor controller and the EZ-B as well.

Does anyone know which gets better wifi range , The tiny or the v4 with original wifi shield?
