I think it wouldn’t be ideal since I have that pocket and where those holes would be are the main structural components

Thanks, that’s what I was worried about & the pocket area itself seemed too thin to put a stress-taking hole in.
I’ll try running the motors (they’re big 63100 ones) without a crossbar and see how the mounts hold up, I’ve just been putting crossbars on all my drivetrains that had holes available as a precaution.
Can you use the skid plate/bumper holes to attach a supporting cross member? I was looking into making a u shaped plate for mine though i haven’t done more than just start thinking about it.
@Titoxd1000 are there models or dimensional drawings you’d be willing to share of the hole spacing or the bumpers? I just jumped on the z1 bandwagon and am currently going overboard modeling everything i want to try fabricating that’s always been financially unviable lol. Biting off more than i can chew but it’s so much fun when disconnected from reality 
I can totally just gather dimensions btw, nothing needed just lazy

Ha, yeah I was thinking of doing the same thing when I have time - using the bumpers on there already as a hole template and making a set of aluminum plates to extend out a bit from the back to clear the motors for a crossbar/brace

Thanks for the illustration! I was initially picturing possibly putting a single m8 support rod through where you have the outer dot (away from the clamp) - a rod at the inner position would foul the hanger/baseplate I’m working with.
The material is about 4mm thick there so seemed like it might be too thin, be a cracking risk - maybe not?

Really should not see much force I don’t think…

Yeah you probably could figure out a way to mount up some carbon rods that way. Would be a good option, I was thinking of doing that but just ended up making different mounts.
I change designs frequently so I would do a test print to confirm fit before modeling anything. Not sure which mount you have.
