I agree! The motor mount leaves alot to be desired. At least let us 4 bolt the darn thing. I was debating on what to do with the rear of the motor myself. I decided to roll the dice and leave it be. I wanted maximum air flow for my fans. Counterintuitive but often run it with the mesh sock cover...
If your gonna send it. That motor mount for sure. Other than that there tough lil trucks. I put rpm arms on mine also. I can vouch for the black rpm arms. Truthfully other than changing the occasional bearing and reglueing my tires every run there solid in my experience. You'll like the radio...
