I was ready to retire one of my 12's for a T4...not so sure now. I hope there's a fix in the works.
There is;
(1)
Build the car properly according to the instructions.
Too many people have put the motor mount in slightly loose (as instructed) but then not tightened it up later in the build. This means that even though the motor is tight the mount can move slightly, particularly in crashes.
(2)
Tighten the motor correctly
As mentioned in the last few posts, check the mesh once you've tightened the screws. As the motor mount is quite thick (5mm) you might need to be carefull on which screws mount into the motor. It is possible (depending on the motor) for the screws to actually bottom out in the motor itself before fully tightening onto the motor mount.
I've raced mine almost every week since it came out and haven't #touch wood# broken or bent a single piece of the car.
