    motor mounts for crew

    Just wondering on motor mounts for my Motley Crew Right know I have stock motor mount (run 4s with 1800kv motor) I have a feeling the motor mount is flexing a bit to much.
    Without cutting the tub out, could I just epoxy a new motor mount in place? would the tub itself be strong enough? Or should I just try to reinforce the stock motor mount?

    Thanks,
    John

    MC motor mount reinforcing

    The MC hull is a monocoque design. Cutting the floor out defeats this and can potentially allow flexing ('tho I've raced against some MC's modified this way and they ran fine ). I just reinforced/strengthened the stock mount like this :
