Im not to familiar with the quick change engine mounts, but do they enable you to move your engine towards the rear of the truck so your flywheel is in the exact center of the chassis opening, and also enabling the carb boot not to rub the diff mount? I just dont really like how the th/brk linkage sets up on these things with the boot rubbing.
I just rotate the carb enough that it doesn't hit on the center diff. Boot almost touches, but not quite. I have been running these motors like that for 2 years now and no problems. I know some have dremeled for clearance, but I never do. I have always run the King Headz or Losi quick change mount though.
