I loosened and retightened the screws on my motor mount but the motor still is very loose fitting. What do I do? I cant set gear mesh because of it because the motor is moving around when I touch it...HELP!

That's weird. Are you using the right length screws? Are you using the spring on the outside screw? Are the nuts there inside the hole near the bottom of the chassis? They hold the screws tight.

They are the screws that came on the car. Nothing was removed so everything is where it should be. the locknuts are really in there though and I dont have anything to reach in there if I need to loosen em

Alot of times this means the spring on the outside screw of the motor clamp has gotten too weak. Try getting a new one... ( I think there was a B4 spring that was a bitt beefier that would also work good). Also try taking your exacto blade and cutting (scratching) some vertical lines in both the chassis, the motor cam and the clamp, that should prevent any slippage whatsoever. Good luck
