The red loctite between the engine mount and the chassis and blue one in the screws...

That only gave me some hell time to take it off as in the 5th minute of the race my super gear stripped.. I can say that it was really tight...
I've already grinded with some 500 sandpaper the blocs and the chassis...

I'm thinking of using the MTX2 blocks, which have 4mm screws... Anybody already tried?


Sorry for the long post..
thanks in advance...
I use 3x10 cap screws for the engine and 3x10 countersunk titanium screws for the mounts, it works fine and you'll never strip a gear again.
