Very true! I'm not knocking them, just saying that everything has it's breaking point sometime or another realistically. But the FLM are definately durable. Best bang for the buck!

I don't. Maybe cuz they are connected to the bulks and not the chassis though! :005: But seriously, no, not personally.

They are a bit heavier.. but DAMN, those are nice! I doubt the weight will really affect anything.

The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

I measure mine at 9mm. It could be give or take a few with a caliper.

Peace!

Wow! Sorry i must have been waaayy off with my caliper! My lsp motor mount is 9.5mm thick! But my inner depth is a little smaller so it is easier to mount pinions.
