I can say that if you install the enginemount properly you'll not have any stripping issues. I installed the enginemount with proper locktite and it stayed on just fine untill I replaced the chassis for the finals (I did not have the skidplated version). Also I used aftermarket bell as well as the Durango one and no stripping. I'm still on the original spur which looks very good. So if it keeps stripping there is something else wrong.

Also I did not have any servo issues what so ever. I even ran the
throttle servo without the fuel tube on the linkage so if the car would be hard on the servo I'd quess it would have let go but it just kept going.



For the whole week I broke the following:

Wingmount
1 hingepin insert
Bent front cardan + bumper + front chassis stiffener (head-on collision to the rear double when jump was short)
2 shock bladders + shock boots

I'd say taht is very little considering the track. But soon we'll all know as the kit's will be available for public
Got any pics of your ride? We can never have too many pics
