Just took delivery on a Nitor Vorza. I also ordered the Rotostart 3 full kit. The issue is the motor mounts are "too big" to fit the roto backplate. I don't know if any other motor mounts will fit properly, or if another company makes the back plate for the Buggy. I would post a pic, but I'm not permitted just yet.

Thanks in advance!
