The motor type is a brushed DC motor instead of the brushless alternative. This is because brushless DC motors are easier to drive, as this can be done with an H-bridge circuit. The dimensions of the vehicle are as follows:
The mounting frame is the frame on which the electronics can be fastened to. This mounting frame can be fastened to the vehicle via four posts. Under normal circumstances, these posts are used to mount a cover in order to style the vehicle. This is now retrofitted in order to fasten a plate to the vehicle. See the figure below.
