Revo engine mount

[scoobydoo2u]

Well.. after a series of parts breaking on my revo I got fed up with it but now its killing me wondering something.. so here it goes..

After replacing my chassis, engine mount ,roll bar ,and spur
I went out and drove my Revo(all on road I believe) and this happened:

Any idea what could have caused it?
No hard crashes that I can remember at all!

Thanks!

Do you have a roll bar at all? Any hard landings in the past? Is the engine mount new or was it used?

Yea I just replaced the roll bar never ran with out it.

No hard landings with this engine mount(wrecked the spur to fast)

This engine mount was brand new.

If it matters I noticed the broken engine mount when i went to change the spur gear.
And I don't know why I'm going through spurs, the mesh is super smooth and I use the paper thing between the gears to set the mesh.

Oh and the chassis is a BRAND NEW Used ebay special! :LoL:

welcome to traxxas. cast aluminum sucks. It would be a good idea to get a aftermarket engine mount. I broke 5 before I learned. the mount could also cause you to eat up spur gears.

Yea I know traxxas has its flaws but what brand doesn't?

Is there an after market one? Wow I've never seen one! I'll go look now though!
Thanks!
