Ahh, OK, seeing the bigger picture, I see the bigger picture, lol. When I first looked at it, it looked like you had actually attached the mount to the TVP, I was curious how that worked out. I ended up doing the same thing, I used the FD ring mounts, they go completley around the can holding it like hose clamps (poor discription really, but you get the idea) and attach to the stock nitro motor plate using the stock holes for adjustment as well. All in all I really like them, but with the finned Nue, with any Nue for that matter, I won't be able to continue using them.

Now I have myself curious, maybe I'll look into cutting something down that would let me mount the motor to the TVP, run a simple support brace just over the spur nut and for stability and see what happens. I still like Serums two piece idea, gave him supreme adjustment with out all the headache of flipping the truck around to reach the nuts. Now I'm going to have to get creative!!

I've toyed with the idea of using Mikes motor mount for the Revo and just mounting it directly to the stock nitro motor plate but milling my own holes to allow side to side adjustment. Using low CG TVPs should give me the additional space I'd need for the larger pinions, but the thickness of Mikes mount may chew up a large portion of that as I know his mount is probably 3/16 inch thick or so itself. What to do, what to do
