A year or two back I had posted somewhere on here about my concerns with Mikes motor mounts and the newer larger motors that we were starting to use. I have a 1520 in my Muggy, and running the older style mount for it. Last week it bent on me. I was really suprised that it occurred then, since I had not hit any jumps that even come close to what I've hit in the past. The mount was bent such that the pinion was pulled away from the spur - indicating that the weight of the motor had pulled it down towards the chassis. I was able to fairly easily bend it back to semi straight and continue running, but the mount for all intents is now shot - once you bend aluminum it loses significant strength.

For those that have run the new style - is it stronger in that regard than the old style? If not, any good options available?
