Mounting a 1520 - 02.04.2010, 12:31 AM

I'm going to mount my 1520 in either my Muggy, or in the LST. I bash hard, no racing, and expect some big part breaking jumps. I'm wondering if Mikes motor mount for the Muggy is going to be sufficient support for that big beast of a motor....Wondering if maybe I might be better off getting a Tekno style mount or something for it....

pretty sure he got the "diesel power" 1520. In which Mike's mount should be sufficient.

the biggest concern with the muggy is the stock chassis is as flimsy as they come and may cause the mount to bend from all the chassis flex,pushing the motor up, but mikes mount is pretty strong but it cant hurt to back up the rear of the motor if u really plan on running it hard.

Mike's mounts are pretty stout, I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Don't land jumps on power and it shouldn't be an issue at all.


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.

but that 1520 will sit alot closer to the frame with the muggy mount a hard landing would cause it to bend up if anything, or if u hit something head on like i did, its not nessesary but if u know your going to bash it i could not hurt, plus it will help brace the chassis

My experience (with my driving) tells me that I need the strength in all directions. Skateboard ramps give you big air, and I only land on the wheels 25% of the time. Yes, I know its hard on the trucks/motors, but its what I do.

What about using a small brace in the rear of the motor for more support, similar to what the nitro Revo mount has
