Just get 3mm diameter screws at ACE Hardware, local fastener store(Fastenal, etc.), or LHS. You will need to measure how much depth you have in your motor for screw length and then give a mm or two clearance to be safe(5mm is recommended on some motors). Then go to the screw source with your motor mount and try screws until you find the one with the correct length sticking out past the surface of the mounting surface. Hope all this scratch makes sense.

Ummm thanks for the reply, but i was actually looking for the exact screw dimensions i need, someone on here must have used 4mm screws to mount a nue motor on a losi mount

Not to be nasty or anything, but sometimes this hobby requires homework.

I used the 3mm screws with my Castle 2200 until I broke 1. Then I tapped 2 of the holes for 4mm And used part # LOSA6259 srews to mount it. I have been using it for a year since then and no problems. If you are set on the 3mm I think I used 12mm length also.

Not a very friendly response. I think this board is the place where one is supposed to ask questions.

I was in no way trying to be ugly about the statement as I said. I was just trying to say that sometimes you have to do some legwork since you're particular motor choice and mount type may be different than what I or others have run. No harm intended.

Just tap out two holes and run 4x12mm screws. You'll be happy you did. Not only are them MUCH stronger, but they have a bigger hex so you can torque them down much more.

plastic over here and no issues....Just make sure your mesh is all good and the adjustment bolt is good and tight.

Plastic works great. I would pull the motor out and remove the rear motor support. I have heard of some people that have had an issue with that rear motor support being a cause of stripping the gear. I have been running my car with the plastic spur for about a month and a half and no signs of wear.

The spur will be very close to the motor mount but should not be hitting. Be careful when you put the pinion on that it does not rub on the motor mount as well. Leave a little room for motor shaft play.

X2 ditch the rmotor brace....its not needed for anything and will only cause unwanted flex issues.

The plastic spurs do rub a bit in some cases. It's normal. Just make sure the pinion doesn't rub the motor mount like Casper said.
