I should let mitch know about this but the m2c engine mount has problems. Kept breaking my hardened 46t spur teeth. Went through 3 spur no matter how I mesh. Put back the stock mount and no more problems. It seems fine on my NB48.3 but definitely not working on the NT48.3 for some reason.

What rear brace set up are you using? I still run both braces in the rear on mine and never had an issue with spurs breaking...tho I'm running the 48t

Are you using M2c quick change mount? I always run both braces. Zero problems with the stock mount.

ive got about a gallon on my NT48.3 with the QC from M2C and its been fine. running the stock spur. Maybe its a diff bearing/brace problem? that's weird it works with stock but not with M2C ive had a lot of their products and always have been happy.

So I ran a trophy race last weekend and im having some issues with the rear end being loose no matter what I do. Has anyone found a good setup for a medium track usually hard packed and ran dry/damp at best. Im trying to get this truck to drive from the front like my MBX7TR and I cant seem to make it work. If anyone has a setup they like a lot id like to see it and compare where im at.

A lot of wheel spin about 745-8 running about 260. I got 930 out of it at 264 in Spokane on a very high grip track.

6.5 restrictor. I've got about 4-5 gallons on it now. Best engine I've ever owned. Gonna order 2 when I get my bonus next month just to have before they get discontinued.

Cool thanks for that info! I gotta try one myself. I'm barely getting 7 minutes on the roma with a 7mm restrictor and I want at least a minute more.

Have you tried Joe Bornhorst AMS 7.0 setup? Also, if you are getting a lot of wheel spin, you may try softening the clutch a touch. That may help with fuel mileage too.
