Similar comment on the servo mount. On a hard hit, assuming your servo is still functional, the assembly can move. Most new top-of-the-line cars have 1-pc servo holders these days.

Still a good looking car tho!

going to one piece motor mount get's rid of a lot of flex in an area where flex is generally needed to give traction, which for normal conditions on Asphalt is not ideal. I have spoken to someone at Hpi about this and I was told they may do one as an option
