I bought a tube of 'Red & Tacky' grease and use it instead of the Grean Slime. Its basically a life time supply for the same cost.

After racing my RC8e for a year now with the stock motor mount I can confidently say unless you have $75-80 burning a hole in your wallet, you do not need an aftermarket motor mount.

The stock mount is more than strong enough to hold up to most any abuse and I can do a pinion change in less than 5 minutes. Its all of 4 bolts! Besides, once I settled on a pinion that works at the closest track to me, I hardly ever have to touch it anyhow.

I agree the aftermarker mounts are better but I would rather spend the money on tires or almost anything else.
