Well I didn't get to run it today cause it rained all day. But I got a couple pics of my new motor mount for the buggy.

Pics show the rear brace that simply has plastic "plugs" that fit into the holes on the endbell...
the three screws that bolt it to the center diff mount...
the plugs (bottom pic) made to fit into the holes in the front endbell...
and you can see the little slider thing that goes above the main motor plate.

The slider thing screws into one of the motor mount holes and it's to lock the gear mesh.... stops the motor from slipping down tighter against the spur when the car slams down from a big jump. It simply slides over until it's snug against the motor plate and locked in place.

This motor plate is very beefy... a sandwich of (two) 3mm graphite plates. The old mount was a single layer, and I had no troble with it either.

The Jammin truggy mount is made the same but it's a laydown style just like the plastic one in the pics above.

One more thing the truggy needs is a rear motor brace of some sort to lock it in place, although it's not critical cause it's flat on the chassis.
