Thank you in advance.
1. You do away with this mount altogether or add foam if loose or grind away some if too tight!
2.Go with deans all the way around
3.The new kit pinion( use 15 T) has a bigger set screw, use locktight in everthing near the motor for some reason the screws back out .
4. Depending on the track serfice ( rocks) you might not have problems.
Some replace it with a Novak fan..... some cover it with a guard! Good Luck!
I run 5-5-2 dif oils .. of you need any info feel free to ask! I'll do my best!
