Do not launch the car off the ground. Some tracks have "alligator teeth" or even small ramp like areas instead of using pipe. Revelation has these as well as the track in toledo. When your car lands, it causes more chassis flex and if you are on the gas it puts a lot of stress on the drivetrain.
The other thing to try for guys having that issue is to get one-piece engine mounts. Skyline makes them and the Kyosho V one RRR mounts fits as well.

I just got the 4mm off ebay for around 55 bucks shipped. everything lined up perfectly and it has a very nice finish. Nicer than the stock one. Anyone doubting the quality from 3racing, it is top shelf. It is somewhat similar to bolting some jewelery onto your car.

Pros:
-More stiff
-Less chance to tweak (bend) the chassis
-More weight in the part you need it most
-You now have a spare chassis (if you bought aftermarket one)
Cons:
-More weight means a tad bit slower
The difference between stock mtx-3 chassis and the 4mm prospec chassis was about 5-15g which is about nothing...

I have the 3racing one. All I can say its awesome and I have not had any problem with stripping the screw holes.
On another note, for the middle shaft block and the upper deck support, go with the 3racing one. The skyline one uses nuts provided and you have to glue them...
