Too old?

shimming the diffs mean you add very thin washers to each side of the differential to remove any play in the gearbox.

most differental shims are universal in size, but i'm not 100% sure about them being the right size on the older models..

that's a tough one. that one might work, but it would put your motor over the center differential and might alter the handling. that mount is more for monster trucks.

here is a univeresal mount that i've seen alot of the vintage guys use when they've converted a long gone nitro...

it's not the prettiest design, but it will do the job. you can also make one out of stronger stock just by buying some aluminum angle on ebay. i made a dual motor buggy that way.

here's what i like to use for mine:

you can cut out the design using a scroll saw or a dremel and some files to clean up the edges. i've seen some elaborate versions of the ebay design that look pretty dam cool.

hope that helps.
