Motor mount

[hipluther01]

Is it just me or does it seem like the motor mounts on the Revo tend to Break easily? I've broke one, my buddy broke one and I just read a thread where another guy has one broke. Thats 3 in the last week. Is this a common problem?

They don't look too sturdy.. The rear of the mount where the mill bolts in is a little thin. Then again, the one I have that is broken I bought that way used and from the looks of things he bashed it pretty hard...

I'm going to get a replacment today and I hope its not a regular thing.

I broke only one so far in @ 6 months. Pretty bad cartwheel though. Landed real rough, then rolled @ 7 times back over front. Mounts seem to be OK for me thus far...they are just a royal pain to change!

I've broken mine there too.

It seems when they all break its in the same place. The rear where the mill bolts in is where mine and my buddies broke.

+1 on that s*%t.. I guess the design makes it more sturdy but I'd rather shred a spur gear then have to tear the rear end down to change a mount.

Mine hasn't broke again since I cut a piece of extra steel that I had and bolted it to the underside of the motor mount to strengthen it. I think this has fixed the whole bending mounts and what not cause I drive like I stole it and after 6 months of abuse it is still holding up....
