They're worth $100. Before I got the Elite mount, I didn't finish two races because the motor moved in the stock mount and shredded the spur gear. Since I installed the Elite mount, my RC8Be is bulletproof. IMO, the stock mount is one of the weakest points on the RC8Be and Brandon offers an exceptional solution to that problem.

P.S. He should send Maifield a bottle of Dom for the spyshot picture of his electric buggy pimped out with the Elite mount.
