Xray XB4 thread

Anyone try to bolt a tekin Gen2 6.5 to this motor mount? The tekin I have doesn't line up w/the screw holes in the motor mount... The gen2 srcew holes are a smidge wider than the xb4 mount holes. I ended up bolting an LRP X12 7.5 in no problem. Tons of room in this rig compared to other wheelers I've had, wiring came out slick. I need to pop off the top deck to route a new sensor wire and I'll take a pic.
Don't mind the big hole where an ESC should be. Tekin has supply issues... which is nothing new. No pun intended.

I was looking at tires also
I have tons that came with the buggy but we end up sanding them bald and using traction compound.
the cars stick like glue in most cases and I have heard some guys are backing off on motors from 6.5 to 7.5 or 8.5 to calm the buggy down.
ANybody else running slicks??

My local track is a medium-size hard packed dirt track, with tight infields and large jumps, covered with astro. The astro covering the jumps helps alot. The straights are short though.
The gear diffs in this car are made of composite material, so it spools up alot faster then those with metal gears. This makes the drive train more efficient as well.

If you put one in your cart and go to "checkout", just be sure to change the shipping type as it defaults to a crazy overnight shipping price or something

I run the Gen 2 6.5. It will work. The trick is to get one screw started just a hair. Then get the next screw started..... and then tighten them both.... in alternating increments. You have to be smarter than the screws.

I'm going to try the 7.5 LRP for our indoor clay and see how it goes.

I had them both started this way, but just by a thread and it felt like something was going to give if I forced them. I've also noticed that tekin's endbells are much stronger material than other brands. When I tighten a tekin motor to a mount, it stops and snugs solid. I have a couple other motors that will strip out before they even feel tight. So not knocking thm either.

I currently run 2wd buggy, 2wd truck and 2wd shortcourse, all of which are AE. I've heard nothing but good things about the fit and finish of Xray vehicles so I want to give one a try.
As someone who is going to venture in to 4wd buggy territory and completely new to Xray vehicles what parts would be wise to have on hand as I start to run a 4wd buggy?
Thanks
