Default 3mm vs. 4mm motor mount screws?

Guys, I have noticed a lot of people talking about modifying their motors to use 4mm motor mount screws. I believe some of the Neu's are shipping with 4mm tapped holes as well.

Are the 3mm motor mounts not holding up? I have been keeping a check on mine and no problems so far. They do not fit inside the Losi motor mount as well the 4mm would but am not going to disassemble and re-tap the Neu in my buggy unless I run the risk of damaging the thing permanently by running the 3mm screws.

I would like to hear what issues people have been encountering. Thanks!

The only issues I know of are the goofy 3mm threads on the medusa's. They strip real easy. I took mine and tapped it for 4MM and no more worries.

I have run 3mm for 2+ years with no issues at all. I use the Traxxas Revo engine mount 3x10 screws with a captured flat and lock washer. They work really well.

We have 6 mounting holes on the Tekin T8 motors. We just decided to make 2 of them 4mm and leave the other 4 3mm. The front endbell can be clocked to where ever the user needs for a good mount.

Does anyone know what kind of multi adapter balance board I need for a hyperion charger to charge a zippy pack? One hobbycity is says it has a JST-XH balance plug.

3mm motor mount suck azz. If you are useing the losi motor mount. 3mm bolts would not hold even with lock tight. track has big 30ft flying big jumps, and you start to do some chassis slapping. drill and tap my NEU to 4mm. No more problems.

tried finding it on CC's website with no luck...

To the best of my knowledge the "NeuCastle" combos use 3mm. Look here and a guy did a complete pictorial of the process he used to drill and tap for 4mm.

The Castle Neu is 3mm, it feels plenty strong to me on the Losi mount. Make sure you use the plastic rear support and you should be fine.

I have no idea if that is the correct one. I don't know what a JST-XH connector is. Hyperion has several different adapter boards. I was just hoping someone knew which one is correct for the zippy packs.
