"Most popular engines have a 37.8mm distance between
mounting holes. However some engines (for example, Picco)
have a smaller distance (37mm). If your engine has the smaller
distance between mounting holes, you need to enlarge the mounting
holes (for example, make each hole 0.2-0.4mm larger) to allow the engine to fit the engine mounts properly."
If you get on rcamerica and look at the manual there is a diagram that shows you what to look for.
I run the Picco engine and when I took my Max Power out and went to bolt the Picco in, it didn't fit. All I did was loosen the screws on the bottom of the chassis for the mounts. Then I bolted the engine to the mounts and then tightened the bottom screws back up with the correct gear mesh and all was good. I didn't drill anything out.
Hope this helps.
