I'm in need of a tough engine mount for my Revo 3.3. I've broken two of them so far. Anyone know of a stronger than stock one? Thanks
 
keep your plastic roll bar on the truck and you should be all set. Also run a body. That body does wonders
 
Its the part that bolts to the engine and the other piece that has four holes not the clip on piece. The first time I broke them both was because I forgot the lock washers which created stress on the mount. The second time was simply due to some really bad concrete landings off a skateboard ramp. I keep the plastic roll bar on and always run with the body on. I just want to find a stronger mount. Anyone? I found this one but not sure.
 
dont land on concrete.......

seriously i have beat the living snot out of my revo and never broken an engine mount. aim the ramp at the grass.....
 
lol yeah i did think of that but the ramp is the non detachable type. It started off with little jumps due to the fact that I knew a bad landing was in store but as time went by I was going a little faster and then a little faster. Next thing I know I was soaring about eight feet in the air. Couldnt resist man its way too much fun. I plan on building my own ramp and placing it near a softer landing.
So has anyone tried the integy alloy mount for the revo? I may try it out.
 
Most of us have not had good experiences with intigy. I'm not saying don't do it, but I wouldn't try it.
 
I think I'll just buy another stock one and pay close attention to how I'm installing it. I may be doing something wrong. Thanks for all the input guys.
