Billet Cases - Case Saver Alternative
« on: March 14, 2023, 12:03:41 PM »
Since the release of the ModQuad billet cases, only one company has offered a case saver that fits properly. 
For those of you that may not know, the ModQuad billet cases do not share the same mounting locations as OEM / ESR cases.

Although they absolutely serve their purpose, I have always strongly disliked the look and finish quality of the Polyurethane or UHMW case savers. 
Can they absorb more of an impact? Of course.  Do they look ugly as hell while saving your cases? Yes!  ;D

After building a billet ModQuad motor for myself as well a few customers, I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands and design a case saver made from billet aluminum (Something that will shine!).  I began with 3D scanning a billet left side case half and transferred that scan data into Solidworks to have a reference to model off of.  Below are some photos of my quick & dirty design.  Ironically, I will be machining a test piece from plastic to check fitment before machining from aluminum.  If anyone has any constructive feedback I am certainly all ears!  I don't have plans to mass produce these, but more so wanted to share what I have been working on with the rest of the forum. 

Thanks!

Blake, nice work.  I’d like to see it without the milled pocket.

That's awesome. What do you use for a 3d scanner?

Very cool Blake, any ballpark pricing on these so far?
