Default motor mounts on a .28 axial motor

im a little irritated right now.. my OEM XTM junk motor finally gave out, so i took the plunge and paid retail at my LHS and picked up a Axial .28 spec 1 motor.

changed over my clutch and flywheel and mounts... did my break in, and then started putting the tune on it, and took it slowly around the track.

on the 5th or 6th tank, after a couple humps and small jumps.. the idle started to scream, no matter how much i lowered the idle screw, it would'nt come down. shut it down, and looked, found fuel on the chassis.. cracked case at the mounts.

so.. im sending it in..

but.. are mounts generic. i have a 1/8th scale XTM XST truggy. i was using the factory XTM 24.7 motor mounts, but after i get this aftermarket motor back, i don't want this issue again.
